CBProductions Posted April 3, 2006 Report Share Posted April 3, 2006 Well as desceibed above when im riding i.e backhops and manuals or any general movement of my cranks with my foot on it past the chainstay , I seem to occasionally get the edge of my shoe caught behind the edge of my chain stay (driveside). It's getting a bit annoying especially when youre going to do a move, so I was wondering If I'm doing anything wrong or does it just happen and are there others who suffer from this plight!Thanks in advanceC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janson Posted April 3, 2006 Report Share Posted April 3, 2006 Toe or heel?I think you need to adjust your foot placement on the pedal for it to stop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CBProductions Posted April 3, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2006 Cheers for the replies maybe some riding shoes are in order? Could crank length also be a possible problem ? I run 158mm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
