I have a bianchi pista, and my pedals have some no name toe clips, they're plastic, and are what I would call bulky, but I haven't used any others to compare them to. I have all stock pista stuff on it besides those, and when I have to make a sharp turn my clip hits the tire and...it's not good. What should I do do get rid of this problem?

Its fine, you'll get over it


















































...and use teh search ****ion next time please

Don't buy a track bike.

I would go with a new springer fork with a lot of rake... And 650c Arrospok.













j/k don't worry, you will get used to it.

I did use the search function but I had no luck finding anything. I sort of thought this may be normal because I know when these bikes are being ridden on tracks it's not necessary to make sharp turns, but I was just making sure. Thanks dudes.

search toe overlap. that should answer your question. I

Smaller frames of track and road bikes have this problem.

Ah, toe overlap. Thanks for the technical term edw.

check the size of your toe clip. often times, i see people riding with resin clips that are too big.
the axle should be (optimally) just behind the balls of your feet. if this isn't the case, try a smaller (more appropriate fitting) toe clip (or perhaps a narrower pedal). alloy/steel ones also aren't as thick as the bulky plastic ones; switching will shave off a few mm.
another thing to consider is possibly running a smaller tire. this may not work out for you, but it's something to keep in mind.
finally, a smaller crank can help. again, this might not be good for you depending on how you ride/your size, but this can help keep your foot 5mm (or even a full cm) back from your wheel.

Quit turning.

Prevent toe overlap!

ride faster

hockey-stop skid into all tight turns. You'll never suffer pedal strike or toe-overlap issues.
