Ahhhh, with that information in mind, my Atola (short) probably won't work that well. The Terry Falcon Y might, though - it's both narrow and long.
Or one of the Specialized ones...looks like I'd need the middle size (143 mm), based on the fact that my Atola is 140mm and fits great width-wise.
At first when I'm not doing any single track, pretty much anything will probably be fine, but sounds like I'll need to make a more appropriate choice when I move up to single track.
Thanks - great ideas!

P.S. My Titus Racer X was supposed to arrive today via UPS but for some reason has been delayed until Monday. Whine!!!
