Ive got 165mm cranks on my bike but I had an incident of pedal strike on ym bike today whe I was going fairly slow.
Its a new bike so havent had a chance to push it with some proper fast riding, so kind of glad this happened now and not when im speeding around the front of a bus!
I have some some campagnolo single sided pedals with steel cages, christophe straps.
My chainline is as tight as possible too, q factor small. So I guess I have to get smaller pedals or something? Its mainly my foot & the strap which hit first, so I guess the only way to get it tighter would be pedals with a lesser gap between the crankarm & pedal (less exposed pedal spindle)
any ideas? (aside from HTFU of course)
