The cheapest thing to do is buy wider tires and see how it goes from there as it does add stability.

The CC is a great bike from the test ride I had in the parking lot. I enjoyed the Long Haul Trucker as well. Only reason I didn't buy the CC was I had purchased the Salsa Fargo as it had disc brakes and was more of an off road bike.

I think the CC is in blue right now....
