Greg LeMond once mentioned that team-mate/adversary Bernard Hinault never pedaled thru sharp curves. Criterium bikes had a slightly higher BB to help pedal thru curves. 559mm/26" Surly Disc Trucker w/50mm-wide tires has no problem with pedal strike since I avoid aggressive cornering anyway since it can induce understeer & even front shimmy. At slow speeds I can pedal thru sharp corners.
