267 is pretty low but should be workable if depending on your terrain. What length cranks are you using?
the cranks length = 172,5 mm and by singletrack I mean a lot of rocks smaller and sometimes bigger ones and many, many roots so I truly understand the approach: the bigger tire the better. But this pedal strikes can be a real issue - to be honest even now from time to time I experience this so what it would be like with bb height at least 1 cm less?
