I changed my mind this afternoon and ordered a set of mavic open elite rims. I'll use the drop bolt like you suggested. There is a bigger selection of tires and I can upgrade to an aero rim in the future if I want. I'll build the rims on the Campy hubs I have. Now I don't have to fool with the fork I ordered. It was made to fit a 700c wheel. All I have to do is paint it. I may have to trim the steering tube a little bit. I can do that on the mill.
