3rd bike adjustment

[SadieKate]

The dangers of toe overlap are much debated; some think it's not a big deal at all, others think it's extremely dangerous and would never ride a bike with it; while a third camp (which I am in), think it's something to be aware of and be careful about but not to panic about - just be careful if it's something your bike has by virtue of its design. It's something only smaller people (I'm 5'2") have to worry about...

Ditto, I only have overlap on my road bikes but I'm not riding them on singletrack so who cares? I don't even notice it.

My toe overlap problem comes when I switch bikes and forget that there will be toe overlap on the road bike (700c). The hybrid, with 26" wheels, doesn't cause a problem and if I don't ride the road bike often enough I forget to avoid toe overlap! You just train yourself not to have your feet in the wrong place during turns. I'm spending lots of time on the hybrid this year, pulling a trailer, and I'm out of practice on the road bike. So far no falls, I'm just annoyed with myself.

The problem with the brakes sounds nasty--please let us know how the fit goes!
