That actually sounds about right to me. Most of my pedal strikes have been when cresting a short rise at a T onto the local trail that gets suddenly steep the last two feet or so, so on my Clem the front wheel and rear are often on different sides of that crest. Makes sense to me, hearing someone else say it.
