I'm not to big on the crosscheck. The geometry doesn't really inspire me. I want something more "road"-like and less "cross"-like. and realistically I don't see myself ever wanting to go fatter than a 35c.

I sent an email to Kona's tech department. the guy who answered seemed pretty convinced that the limitation was the ability to stuff a tire in the brake caliper. He seemed pretty convinced that it's almost impossible for a caliper to clear a 32c.

shenanigans, i say.

which i why i'm looking for real-world data.
