I am fairly sure a 40c will fit; did not try it but looks like plenty of room [fyi - most CX frames and forks like these have 52c width - so a 40c leaves a bit on each side]

We have disc wheels for CX on the way and standard equip on the Outlaw
we have the disc equipped Aluminum CX bike in route [Fantom Cross Outlaw]

The Ti bike may come in a disc stock version next season [Sept 2009]
And we have plans for Ti frames starting next year around Summer; however a frame and fork will be $1200 on this model - so at the intro price of $1695 for an entire bike; I do not think many would buy the frameset.
