Tom,
A little background:
I recently traded for a 2001 55 cm Litespeed Arenberg. The bike is equiped w/ Campy Centaur and has 172.5 mm cranks w/ Time Jalbert pedals. The bike has a Litespeed fork w/ a 40 mm rake. I wear Specialized road comp shoes in a euro size 44.
My delima:
The bike fits perfectly except that the end of my shoes hits the front tire when I turn. Not by much, but they definetly hit. I have the cleats moved up as far as they will go on the bottom of the shoes.
My question:
Will swapping out my fork for one with a 43 mm or 45 mm rake solve the problem? Will going from a 40 mm rake fork to a 43 mm rake fork give me an extra 3 mm clearance?
Thanks in advance for any info,
