[RBW] Pedal Strikes when Turning
I had an early orange Waterford canti-braked single top tube Hillborne in the early 2010s. The tradeoff of the stable high-speed handling was that the bike needed to be leaned really far to make a quick tight turn. The combination of this, the low bottom bracket, and my love of pedaling through turns meant I got A LOT of pedal strike. The most of any bike I've owned. And this was with either 165 or 167.5mm cranks (can't remember which). This is not to disparage the bike at all, rather to simply state that my example was not a good candidate for pedaling through tight turns.

On any corner with the slightest chance of a pedal strike I’m either pedaling or have the outside foot down. Pedals at 3 and 9 is strictly for going straight (or sometimes through wide sweeping turns on fast descents). -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

Past and current Rivendell models with 700C wheels have Bottom Bracket Drops (BBD) in the 75 to 80 mm range. The exceptions seem to be: GusBothWilson at 70mm, Legalos at 70mm, and Quickbeam at 73mm. Is it common to have pedal strikes while turning?? Perhaps, you avoid pedaling when turning or cornering or hold the cranks near 3 and 9 o'clock.
