I have red with 107BCD power spider at the mo.
Why is it that I need wide?
Does the above give me greater chairing options?
Sorry not being narky just trying to understand

Depends on the frame and the chainstay clearance.

If you are running single ring, you may find that the regular dub is limited to a 38 or 40t. Wide will let you run way more.

In terms of double, you just get more clearance for the front mech etc I believe

I guess it all depends what chainring/s you have planned

Ideally 50/37 or 48/36, I was looking at carbon ti outer and sram inner some doubt if they marry. Or force ones.
My thinking being that anything less than 48 won’t improve top end speed with slicks much.
