I bought a Fuji Cross Comp Pro used last fall - mainly for commuting and hoping to try racing next season if I can get in shape - yeah right.
The bike is a 56cm alum framed cross bike like this but with Ultegra drivetrain and shifters:

Every once and a while my right heel hits the chainstay - its odd. I've never owned an Alum bike before - I'm used to the thin tubes of steel ;) I do not have huge feet - pretty normal size 10. What's up? It is just a combination of the extra mud clearance and thicker alum tubes that cause my heel to hit if I turn it in a little bit. And I mean a little bit - my SPDs have no float. It drives me crazy. Any ideas? Do any pedals have longer shafts (Q factor right?).
