no i never had any problems with the clearance on the original pedals/ cranks, im still waiting for my raceface turbine LP cranks to arrive so i cant tell you about those. The only thing i noticed was that it kinda seemed to have a bit sluggish cornering but i soon got used to it and was able to compensate, i have new forks now anyways, and new headset and new hadlebars so the whole control system is now different. but i love it.
