Considering a 55 carbon Warbird. Does anyone know if there is toe overlap in that size? What about in the 56 and 53? Heck, in any of the sizes.
Understand crank, shoe size, tires, and cleat position can impact this. My current 56 Colossal has a little, it is ok but I would still prefer none or no more that I currently have.

That will certainly fix toe overlap, but opens up a bunch of other issues unless you are very short.

a 135 is what they use ok kids 16inch bikes. I wouldn't suggest that.

I understand why Laeljon made the suggestion to me, he is a short crank arm advocate. Regardless, I found it very annoying, it is very grating to ask a direct question and get a comment that only serves to distract people from the original question.

Regardless I have decided the Warbird is not for me. I am getting a Vassago DonnyBrook instead. I have never had anything but steel bikes and am not going to loose faith yet.

Maybe that will bring out the distracting comments on steel vs. carbon.
