Well that's perfect because I won't be doing CX, and it'll mostly be a road/commuter. I like the CX frame geometry because it's a bit more upright and I have a very bad back (several herniated discs). If I wanted to do light, nicely manicured wimpy trails, what's the biggest/best tire I could fit between those front brakes? And would I need wider rims for such a thing? Again, doesn't need to be an all out downhill mountain bike tire....just some light offroad duty.
