I think we've seen this before Maz,
is it a road bike or a hybrid/mtb?

It's very common on most road bikes. Never normally causes a problem.

Most bikes have it nothing to worry about tbh unless your incapable of riding a bike.

No, this is wrong, if it is a road bike it doesn't I have not yet come across a road bike that has overlap.
as I said, if its a hybrid or a tourer yes, but not a road bike.

I have come across one although much more without it I agree.
Twas a rather odd bataglyn frame though.

I have some overlap on my (custom-built Roberts) tourer. It has never been a problem. I don't know about you, but I never turn the front wheel enough for the guard to be in front of my toes in normal riding - it would be quite some turn! Maybe when manoeuvering, but then with a foot out of the clips anyway.Maz said:I was hoping you wouldn't say that.
How is it not normally a problem? Do you stop pedalling when turning?

Sorry tim that sounded a bit ott.
I have always found if you do have it its one of those thing you automatically cater for if you get what I mean.
They look lovely and ride lovely but the toe overlap is just plain silly on it.
Though that is the only one I have ever had a go on.

This twas a Steele vintage beauty though.
It is a problem on the shorter framed road bikes. I have not ridden many bikes as I am relatively new to road cycling. But, all 3 carbon bikes I have ridden had two overlap, but my winter Ribble does not.
To be honest, it is not a problem. You only notice when moving slowly in a car park or perhaps turning out of a junction from stationary. When you are actually spinning along - completely ignorable.

I have a toe overlap. I found out when i first took my bike out, it didnt stop me but it was annoying.
I dont have a problem with it though, even at low speeds, and really really low speeds and taking sharp courners. Even when i was learning to track stand i didnt have a problem. Aswell as on this thing i was doing where i slowly got the handlebars as far as they could go whilst i was peddling.

I've never really noticed it on my road bike but I have on my flat bar bikes.
