I actually think it is the sidepull brake that causes the clearance issue that I have. Its really not much of an issue as the rub is very light and does not cause resistance, only a sound that bothers me. I have had someone tell me that they had the same setup on an Atlantis (Canti) with no issue, no rub. If your Sam has canti brakes I would bet that you would be fine with 38s. I actually wanted a Sam because they had Canti brakes but by the time I went to order they had changed to sidepulls. That was a move that disapointed me.
