I've been riding the litespeed for the last couple weeks... It's got a compact double with 170 cranks... I'd rather not have the 170's, but I've been giving them a shot before spending the money to upgrade... And I haven't had any foot issues the last couple weeks...

So yesterday, I took out my carbon bike 'cause my wrists were aching (It's more wrist friendly), and went riding... About a mile into the ride, my foot started aching, and by 5 miles or so it was killing and I had to stop and walk it off... This bike's got a 165 mm triple on it. I doubt it's the length of the cranks, but I'm wondering if the q factor on the triple is causing the issue. I can brush up against the front derailleur with my calf on that side.

I used to ride the carbon more often and maybe that's why I was having the constant pain.
