Yes, it's strictly temporary. I'm actually getting 165 crank arms put on (previously had 170), but they felt so bad with the screw up, they put on a crank they had laying around. I'm not sure how my knees and the rest of my body are going to react, I surely don't plan on riding more that 15 miles or so.

Yes, toe overlap would be the correct term! Learn something new everyday! I didn't have that issue before. Guess it's pretty common and I'm over thinking things!

I'll do a quick spin around the block to see how my knees feel. I got a bike fit last year, and I really hate to mess with it.

Thanks gals!
