Chris L or anyone w/ experience. The ECR has a wider BB shell, 73 vice 68... seems pretty negligible but I've never ridden a wider BB myself. If the ECR is your 'only bike' would you be ok w/ the wider tread?
Several have mentioned the Ogre fits larger tires, 2.5 vs 2.25(ish). I'm really curious what the collective thought is on how much added capability that 2.25-2.5" tire gets you as I'm sitting at 2.25" myself w/ the Bombadil and I've kind of been thinking that 3" is really the minimum wider tire I'd target if I wanted more offroad chops.
