Well, all my other wheels are wide now. I have a set of archetypes on the fixed and some 23mm aero rims on the road bike. Wide is better (i'm convinced) BUT I recently bolted on the worn out old set of wheels onto my fixed - an old set of open pros with about 5000 miles on them and they felt great. Nice and alive, road feel and very sprightly. I think that's the only downside (but also positive!) of wide rims is that they are more comfortable and dampen out vibrations so well that it takes the edge off.
