Could you try a tubular?  They're tires with the tube sewn into the casing and 
are normally glued onto the rim.  Still quite easy to get as many racers swear 
by them.  I find them expensive and fiddly and am thinking about selling my 
tubular race wheels to get some clinchers.

Failing that, perhaps you could find more info on Sheldon Brown's website.  
That's a treasure trove of information about bikes.
