no problem, the toe overlap was bad on my 700c LHT with SKS fenders but much improved with PB Cascadia fenders since the struts were higher and I was only hitting the mudflap and not the struts. Just the same the overlap seemed worse than the CrossCheck. My preference for around town/commuting riding is good maneuverability and the 700c 56cm LHT didn't have it the same way the Cross Check did although the low bb was nice on the LHT. That little 1/4" was more convenient when standing at intersections.
The 56cm 26"LHT has better maneuverability, more like the CrossCheck , than the 700c version but this is all splitting hairs. If a person likes X bike that's they one they'll ride.
