Re: [RBW] Anyone have toe overlap issues?

2021-02-03 Thread John Bokman 
I agree. I ride a 58 cm Sam, and I experience overlap (58cm frame; 175 mm 
cranks; 700x38 tires; berthoud stainless fenders; size 10 street shoes on 
VP Vice pedals). It's a fantastic bike, but overlap can be annoying in stop 
and go traffic and while riding offroad. I wish 58 cm Sams were available 
in 650b!

I really dislike toe overlap. I have had it on pretty much every road bike 
with fenders I've ever had, even a Toyo Atlantis with 26" wheels. It's 
tolerable for pure paved road riding, but any kind of slow speed 
underbiking, country biking, hilibiking, etc and it's a no-go for me.

My 2015 Sam is the only bike I have ever had toe overlap with. It’s always 
interesting when my downgoing toe hits the upgoing front tire on a low 
speed turn.  55 Sam, size 10 shoe, 622x42 tires.
I thought that, like pedal strike, it was just something you trained 
yourself not to do.

Re: [RBW] Anyone have toe overlap issues?

2021-02-03 Thread Patrick Moore 
I must have close to 3" of toe overlap with my Matthews dirt road bike and
80 mm fenders; it's a tradeoff I accept, but I would not choose this bike
for technical singletrack.

Reaction to toe overlap is a very personal thing. Jan dislikes it, Grant
doesn't mind it. I've commuted across town in busy traffic on fixed gears
(no adjusting cranks for corners) with fenders and toe overlap for years
without much difficulty; like not leaning hard in corners on a fixed gear,
you learn to compensate for it.

However, on my new-to-me old Monocog, with 30 1/2" wheels, the absence of
toe overlap is very nice to have.

I occasionally have toe overlap issues on my 53cm 2003/4 Atlantis currently 
running Super Yummy tires and MKS platform pedals. Size 9 mens shoe.

[RBW] Anyone have toe overlap issues?

2021-02-03 Thread Tom Wyland 
According to BikeInsights the tire-to-pedal-spindle on my current bike is 
about 10cm.  I sometimes hit my toe on my (sks) fender at low speeds. It's 
not terrible but I wouldn't want any less room.  I noticed that the Sam has 
like 2 cm less toe overlap than my current bike. This is one reason I 
gravitated towards the Cheviot and Platypus where the front-center is 
longer (just a guess on the Platypus).
Does anyone else have toe overlap issues?  Is it just my size 13 feet that 
are the issue?
