Which do you prefer? I know it's personal preference, but I was hoping to get some input of some sort before getting them.
If you're concerned about pedal strike in corners, your frame's bottom bracket drop (the distance between a line drawn through the hub axles and the center of your bottom bracket spindle) is also a factor. Bikes designed for fixed gear use tend to have less drop (higher bottom bracket) than road bikes to provide clearance for pedaling around corners. If your bike is a converted road frame, this may be an issue.
