pedal strike and crank length

just curious if anyone here has experienced pedal strike...
where your pedal hits the ground in a turn. (not when your foot touches the front tire....is that pedal strike too or does that have a diff name?)

by any chance do you know what length your crank was when it happened?

i am thinking of purchasing either 165 or 170 cranks. I am tall and lanky limbed so thinking the 170s would be good for me, but ive noticed 165 seems to be some sort of fixed gear standard.

yah i know bottom bracket clearance/height has allot to do with it as well.

maybe i should just not be a weenie, get the 170s, and be careful on turns.
