Full fitting
Well I just got my clipless pedals in, and I was playing around with em and I noticed my heel striking my rear derailer....would a full fit (and thus short crank arms) correct this problem?

does it hit while you are riding or are you just playing around with the shoe and the pedal while you are off of the bike?
I wear a 10.5 and with the chain on the small rear I can make my shoe hit the deraleur while I am off the bike. On the bike it is not a issue

say WHAT? YOu mean the FD?
How are you able to reach the RD while spinning...
??
I would assume your touching the front so adjust the cleat position so that it doesnt touch it. Also what kind of pedals/shoes do you have? If there is alot of float, you might want to get different cleats to compensate for that(I hear you can do this with Look cleats, like red/black/grey...)
Good luck
