Opinion needed on two bikes

[sarahkonamojo]

IMHO toe overlap sucks! It drives me crazy. I avoid it and ride bikes with toe overlap. SOmetimes your cycling shoes can make a difference. You are probably not clipped in. Meaning your foot is not in a fixed position relative to your pedals and wheels. If you are not clipped in, try moving your foot around on the pedal.

I do not like toe overlap because of habits I develop on the road bike (with toe overlap) affecting mtn biking handling. It produces a hesitation in pedal/turning and screws me up. YMMV.

Enjoy your rides.

Yeah toe overlap can get ya when u least expect it. I have to watch that when I turn super sharp on my Salsa after putting on a beefy set of fenders. It's not so bad once you know about it. Just a hella surprise when you don't!

I was test riding bikes on Friday and had a toe overlap problem with one. In most instances I wouldn't probably turn the sharp and it be a problem but I still didn't like it. Beats my previous problem of heel hitting my son's child carrier seat. That was very annoying.
