You know, pedal strike is a possible problem on a fixie, and you should know to what degree you can lean before your pedal strikes the ground.
So, it'd need data like BB hieght, crank length, pedal width, pedal thickness..
The thing is, these math experts with a *****load of time on thier hands, they, they could easily figure it out and trump Sheldon Brown by coming up with it first!!
I actually did this already.
I would also like to take the time to say that I hate it when people say "he/she has too much time on his/her hands." As if calculating gear inches or coming up with formulas for pedal strike is any more of a waste of time as watching CSI reruns.
