Recently bought a 2nd hand ribble as a winter bike and it came with a triple chainset. I wouldn't have normally chosen a triple but thought it would be fine for just getting the miles in. Now I notice that my feet feel noticeably wider apart when clipped in. I'd never even thought about Q factor when fitting myself to a bike, but now am wondering if it's the reason I'm having difficulty getting my position sorted. Can q factor have such a significant effect?
