So I put the 700 x 40 wheelset back on my other bike I normally tool around on and measured the bottom of the pedal at it's lowest position to the ground. I don't know why I haven't thought of doing this before so I have some numbers to work with in my head that is tangible. The crank is a 175mm on this bike, which in the Ogre it's a 170mm. The measurement was 125mm (give or take a mm). I can pedal through turns just fine at this height. The bottom bracket "height" was 290mm (if it is measured to center of BB). I don't know what the measurement of that was on the Ogre because I am just figuring this stuff out now.

When I measured the Ogre with the same wheelset, and the 170mm cranks on it, it was 100mm (give or take a mm). I don't know yet because I am still waiting for one last part on the build before I can test it with the 700 wheel set, but I don't think it is safe to ride at this height without pedal strike issues through turns, but I am guessing right now. Should know soon.

My gut says it won't be safe, enjoyable, and not a splinter in my mind in corners. Don't want that feeling at all.
