Front wheel to shoe clearance, or lack of...

Thanks very much for your comments folks. Having read your replies and
viewed a related thread, I feel much happier. I did suspect it was a
non-issue, as it took me 4 crash-free (almost) months to notice, but it
is obviously something to be aware of. Thanks again.

I was going to say... The fact that it took you this long to notice it means it
probably isn't a problem. Something to be aware of track standing and such but
not usually an issue on the road. If your wheel's turned that far, you're
already crashing.

Right. I was gonna mention getting started at lights and stop signs. Be
careful that you're not in too hard a gear and then swerve the front wheel
to keep balanced, which /could/ then cause the tire and shoe to effect an
unplanned stoppie, resulting in unpleasantness.

It's funny, i never paid much attention to it in the year/2800 miles
I've had the LeMond, but today, while making an extremrly slow turn,
into a driveway, my foot actually rubbed on the tire. I think, having
read the previous posts, I just acknowledged it and rode on.

Life is Good!
