Pedal Strike / Pedal Scrape / Scraping when cornering

Did you sound the merge klaxon first?

I can fart if you like?

"HONK iF YOU WANT TO MERGE"

checks mirrors

In London? As if!

I've written to the my local council offices to get the camber of the roads improved. All corners are gonna be like the fucking Carousel at the Nurburgring!

I'm not sure my bike's front splitter will clear that.. should I bump up the travel on my coil-overs?

Ride like there's ice/snow on the roads.

what is a rear disk

what is a rear disk

You get more aero advantage from a aero front wheel then a rear wheel. But on the road you can only go so deep on the front, before the bike becomes difficult to control in cross-winds. As you have around 65% of your weight on the rear, and it is not steerable, you can go deeper on the rear, while maintaining decent handling.

In a velodrome you have no wind so can use deeper front wheels. You therefore see front and rear discs used in certain track events. There is no reason to use a shallower rim at the back, other then hipster fashion (AFAIK).

Also, if you do the trig, you will see that the size of your pedal is nearly as important as crank length.

As anyone who's studied linguistics will know, you can't get pedal strike without pedals... So the answer is to remove the pedals and push the cranks around... No more pedal strike.

I just finished my build and took it out on a freewheele side for a quick brake less run. I am yet to do the finishing touches (Back break, bartape ect)

I did have an issue with my pedals hitting the floor when I took a corner or came of a curb. How can this be solved? smaller crank? smaller pedals?

I have no money left for a new crank or pedals.

wow

Don't lean. Duh.

Well, ahead of the many facetious replies you're going to get, the answer is quite simple--change your riding style from how you would ride a bike with a freewheel. As you can see from the thread into which yours has been merged, it's a known issue and all you have to do to solve it is to take corners less tightly. If your set-up (pedals, cranks, etc.) is already right for you (which I assume), then obviously you shouldn't change it into something that doesn't suit you. Good luck and enjoy your riding!

If only you were ahead of the facetious replies Oli, if only..

Anyway, I'm sure this zombie thread can crack 8 pages now..

If you're talking about your post above mine, it is obviously very serious advice and not facetious at all.

Touche

Simple, like a steep hill, if you ever get to a corner that is too tight, just get off and push around it.

Nah just ride with a freewheel and no brakes for a while longer, it will sort itself out.

Learn to endo turn, it's the only way.

remember to wear dark clothes and no lights, his will speed up the process further

You guys are all wrong wrong wrong. Everyone knows 2013 is all about going around corners doing wheelies!
