Increase rake...

I want to stop my toes hitting the front wheel on my Bianchi Pista, I think one way could be different forks with more rake, could anyone suggest forks or other ideas? Ta

uh-huh...

Shorter cranks?

The bike isn't the problem.. so..

its quite a nice crank on the bike already and i can only see it saving about 5mm - i need about 20mm maybe. i would cut off my toes but then my feet would look even more weird

it will handle differently, more rake = weird handling.

I have a fork with less rake than the original fork on the bianchi, yet still ridable, just adapt your riding style, it's much cheaper, I also find a different cage (i.e. MKS medium) would make a nice difference.

thanks, yea i think i might try that, just a shame cuz i've gotten to like my powergrips

1.smaller tyre
2.shorter cranks
3.smaller cages as ed suggested
4.road forks with 45 mm rake......
results
1.less comfortable, limited tyre choice,more punctures
2.less power transfer
3.incorrect pedalling position
4.less trail, handling sluggish at low speed,more effort to "lean" the bike in corners

so i'm guessing...

1. deal with it.
   

Get SPDs, much smaller overall 'pedal' than if you have an actual pedal plus cage and straps. You get to wear awesome sidi shoes too.

plus you walk like a stepdancer and do click click wherever you go:-)

a very feminine Robocop at that!
