I commented above that when I was a kid I had pedal strikes when pedaling in sharp corners with my 10.625 inch bottom bracket height. But I forgot to say that was back before clipless pedals were invented. Pedals were wider and a little taller than modern clipless pedals are today. So, if you are going to run a modern clipless pedal, that would make the potential for pedal strikes less likely. And for touring, you are not going to go into sharp corners and pedal at high speed either, so that makes pedal strikes less likely too.
