What type of pedals are you using? Pedal type also effects your chances of pedal/crank strike.

If they're wide platforms or older quill road pedals, try swapping them for something with a narrower body (MKS sylvian tracks etc) or throw on some clipless pedals.

But if you've got anything longer than 170s, you may have to swap yer crank.

Edit: just re-read the thread and saw that Retem beat me to it with the pedal suggestion. So just ignore this comment.
