Any thoughts on WI.DE vs U.P.? I'm not convinced I'll need massive tires to justify the WIDE, but I do like the additional stack. And who knows, maybe I'd use the additional tire space from time to time.

Is there any down side to the WI.DE other than having to be 1x?
The wide is just wider than I will ever need and I am a 2x hang-on so regular is fantastic. No real downside other than 1x only. What size are you and do you have parts to build on a frame? I might have a line on a used one.
