Maybe big tires and road geometry isn't the best combo. Anyways, how do I tell if a bike will have more shoe/toe clearance from a geometry chart?
Thanks.
I've never owned a road bike, cross or gravel bike that I didn't hit the tire with my toe if I didn't pay attention. I've had road bikes since the 70s. 5-8… 54/medium bike size, normal tires in case anyone thinks it's an odd situation. I've always thought it's is normal and is no problem at all.
