And yet again, we agree. Although assuming that a specific bike size is needed and that a particular bike geometry (like in the case of the parallax) it is what it is sometimes I suppose, I repeat suppose not stating, that increasing the rake, reducing the crank arm length or wheel size are the only three viable options.
What I will be curious to discover now, is why reality is different from the output of bikecad and the basic math you can do, like 540 (front wheel) - 165 (crank arm) - 336 (radius of a 700/23) it leaves 39mm and that assuming no q-factor at all... how is it possible the tyre rubs/touch the crank?
