• Isn't counter steering just a means of leaning the bike...?

    Steer right > bike banks left = you're still end up leaning and still have the problem of pedals nearing the floor?

    Correct me if I'm wrong.

    Admittedly they are only 165's but at least im a fairly short person. I know people 6"4 who ride 165's because they are scared of pedal strike, on a geared bike!

    As Mechamorgan just mentioned the secret to riding with a very low bottom bracket is countersteer. Ive never done it consciously it just automatically happens when approaching a corner you feel is too tight. I do the same on any bike actually as it reduces likely hood of sliding out of a tight corner which is surprisingly easy to do, especially with leaves all over the place!
