Hi,

I recently bought a turbo trainer for winter training. The bike i will be using is a trek 7.1fx.

Because the trainer generates a LOT of heat on the regular tyre, i was hoping to buy a turbo tyre, but these only come in 700x23c. Unfortunately, my wheel can only go down to a 700x28c tyre.

Does anyone know of a wheel that would fit a trek 7.1fx but also take a 700x23c tyre? I've looked at a lot of websites but can't seem to find one.

Thanks for any help,
