My road conversion suffers pedal strike all the time with 170mm cranks. Never been a problem, always managed to ride it out. Then last week on my street track which has a much higher BB, I'm taking a hard left (like greater than 90 deg), seeing how hard I can push it. Fash, low, and struck the pedal. Went down, skidded across two lanes (luckily I shot an all-red so no traffic). F'd up my clothes, keys, got a booboo on my elbow (through two shirts), and bruised the hell out of my left thigh. Only scraped part of the bottom of the pedal body away though!

Anyhow, watch yerself and think about some shorter cranks.
