... on my converted MTB/commuter-hack
I switched from 26x1.95 to 26x1.0 tyres (the lowest my Mavic XC717 rims can take). The problem is that I now only have an approx BB height of 240mm. With 170mm cranks (and flat pedals) that's only 70mm pedal clearance.
I tested this setup for a couple of miles and had a couple of hairy moments with pedal strike (at my usual speed around corners)!
So what can I do? Get shorter cranks? I've seen a cheap 152mm chainset. But will that be too short?
BTW: I'd prefer to keep flat (non clipless) pedals on this bike if possible.
