New Bike - TREK design fault ?

[John Ponting]

The TREK 1.9 is a short wheelbase, close clearance sports bike and suffers the same problem as just about every other sports/racing bike.

MTBs have very relaxed angles and huge clearances.

Tourers are somewhere between.

Dedicated track bikes (velodrome not NCN) are even tighter.


all rather generalised of course

I have a recumbent:

...there is a problem with heel overlap!

..what about "beard overlap"
