Michael, I'm fine thanks, just a little pocket book injury those tires are $68 + shipping. I've run the Marathons and had a flat but never a slash...the Rumpkins have a super thick casing and decent side wall, IIRC they rolled fairly well. I'll get a better feel tomorrow as I'll have a post thanksgiving ride...gotta burn those calories.
