Patrick—Yes, I was the one that just sold the Bon Jons. The old Ram specs chart I found said max 37mm so didn't want to chance it, but as soon as I got them mounted it was clear the 38s would fit. (And of course right after that I found a thread someone posted with the same experience... so it goes...) I still have the stock Araya rims and that's what they're on. They've got enough clearance that I've had no issues over 100+ miles with them over pretty much every terrain—hard pack, loose gravely sand, some single track (slowly) and narrow rocky and rooty trails. I know it's cliche, but they've really remade this bike into something I didn't realize it already was.
Everybody says Compass tires are great but they'll flat all day. And, of course, I did 60+ miles through all the rough stuff only to get a flat descending on a paved canyon highway. That said, though, it was dusk and I was only using a headlamp so I didn't see the debris I hit, which was big enough to feel, so with proper lights it likely wouldn't have happened and two, the nail I took out was the same kind of nail I've pulled from my Marathons on my commuter. So I'm chalking this one up as a fluke. Mark—Oh, wow! My mom's family is from Newburgh/Pine Bush. I spent a lot of time up there when I lived in the city; a lot of Metro North to Beacon. Keith—I was the same way! A guy on that ride even asked me if I ever rode my Ram because it was so pristine but that's only because all the miles on it were paved (and I used to be a fastidious bike washer but now I'm over it).
