Your real problem is the BCD of our crank. I believe it is 110mm so you can't install anything less than a 34t. Well, I think technically 33t, but finding that is pretty much non-existent.

I love my Surly Cross Check. It's very versatile. You could put 25mm tires and have a fast bike, or you can put 32mm tires and rack and panniers to do grocery shopping or touring.
