LOL! You're on STR from your phone? You're addicted, my friend!

Spacing your cranks out further to eliminate toe overlap will affect your bike fit and will probably screw with your power delivery.

I have the same problem with my 29'er SS (small frame). I just deal with it.

yeah, proper grammar takes time, but correct spelling is a no- brainer with t9. toe overlap is death on a mountain bike. especially switchbacks and trackstands

o yea on an important note have 170 mm cranks so i cant really shed much there

maybe a 650b front wheel or more compact shoes?

[Chewyeti]

or change the cleat location on your shoe....

or grow some real size legs, and run a bigger frame midget boy!

[Rockinthecasbah]

I think I may go to a less aggressive front tire and see what happens I am pretty comftorble with my cleat location but I may be able to move it a few mm without noticing

Fork with more offset?

or maybe a +5mm crown race on the fork?

[foofighter]

that's weird i dont have that problem on mine but i think mines a medium...does it make that much of a difference?

[Rockinthecasbah]

.5 on the top tube i would be good, im sure alot of it has to do with the rampages

How about thinking outside the box and kill two birds with one stone.

Chop off your toes. This will give you the required clearance AND sheds some weight.

1. Make sure your fork isn't mounted backward. Compare your bike with the photo below. Does the fork look the same?http://www.toysrus.com/product/index...ductId=2401233

2. Can you move your cleats further forward on your shoes (spacing your feet back)?

3. If all else fails, do the right thing: Dump the 29er and get a good bike (26er).

I agree with Lee

It's sad though. You would not believe the amount of bikes I have seen assembled from a bike shop with a backwards fork. Always had to fix them for people (we were running a bike fix booth), and tell them to go throw an egg at the bike shop mechanic for making such a mistake. I mean cmon, a backwards fork?

I second the 26ers, but I know you've got plenty of those to satisfy any normal-sized wheel needs
