Anybody know if a 2006 Aksium rim will take a 35mm CX tire? If not, what's the largest? Thanks.

IMO should be fine.

One of Kona's Jake (http://www.konaworld.com/09_jakethesnake_u.cfm) bikes comes with 35's on some newer Aksiums which I assume have the same internal width as the 06 Aksiums.

Yes. I thought I had seen them spec'd on some production CX bikes. Just couldn't remember where. Thanks, all!
