A friend of mine just had a custom bike built and although it fits great there is a 2 cm shoe overlap of the front wheel. The danger of this is making a hard turn and trying to straighten out with your foot then in the way. Criterium racers in particular could do this because they only stop pedalling at the absolute apex and then start again with the front wheel still turned.

Anyone else had any experience with this? I remember high siding because of this. Luckily not in a race to be run over by a hundred riders.


A known issue but I am very much surprised that his builder
didn't discuss that with the client before starting any
metalwork. Usually, the drawing is reviewed in depth, and
revised through several iterations, before the build.
