I really can't imaging that the bone shattering ride of a hed3 with a 20mm tire will be fast on real world roads in the uk, by the time you start swerving to avoid potholes or going into the base bars because you're in agony, you've probably lost more than you gained over just a standard road wheel..
I'd be tempted to sell it to a hipster and buy something more modern and wide that will allow a decent size tyre at a pressure level that allows you to ride straight and hold your position, or just run a standard rim from your road bike/track bike/whatever you have...
just my 2p...
