Definitely all makes sense. I think in this case, the crank arm is really
just too long for my leg length and the bike. I've never been scared with
the pedal strikes because they've been at slow speeds, but it's pretty
silly.

Just my two cents. First I once pedaled a turn aggressively and it was the
second scariest moment I've ever had on a bicycle, I usually as others have
already stated have my lean side pedal up. I also agree with contacting
Mark at Rivendell regarding BB sizing, though I think you can save some
I have a 61cm Bleriot with Hetre tyres and fenders and the tyres
definitely improved the ride.

Thanks for all the replies! I talked with Brian over at RBW who suggested
170mm crank arms on the bleriot for a rider my height.
Anyone have an extra used or new sugino xd2 170mm?

Those differences are mostly inconsequential. Take for example the 108.
Compared to the 110, it's narrower by 1mm per side. OK, so sometimes that
can mean the difference between the crank arms clearing the chainstay, but
most of the time it's really not that important to get the BB length spot
The best bet for mounting XD2s on a Bleriot is to contact Rivendell for BB
length. Mark's email is m...@rivbike.com. He'll know what a Bleriot runs.
On the topic of pedal strike, I can't remember the last time I did that. I
either coast through with inside pedal up, or carve the turn with a ver

With a Tange or Shimano Cartridge, the 107 and 110 have the same drive side
length, so the 110 simply gives you 3mm more on the left.
However, with Shimano's they have a lip built into the *left* side cup also
so if you use a driveside spacer it won't sung up all the way with the

bleriot can fit hetres I believe, and hope to get a pair once these col de

I've got a 107 on my Bomba w/ the XD2 crankset, works fine; but the 110
would be great, too. (My Ram has a Shimano Octalink BB/crankset, so
it's not directly comparable...)
A 170 might be good to try; but I'm still thinking 'simpler' fixes
first... can a Bleriot fit Hetres? That'
Thanks Jay. Typo on my part. 110mm. Then with Phil Wood, seems like 110
isn't an option.108, 111, 113. Not that I'm ready to drop that kind of
cash, but just trying to understand my options.

I ride a 55 Bleriot with Ultegra 172.5 cranks and MKS touring pedals with
toe clips.
The clips drag the ground when walking the bike, but there is nary a pedal
strike when cornering (non-racer style cornering).

The geometry is not all that hard to figure out. A few mm of length change
will change your clearance by a few mm. A few degrees of extra lean before
you scrape. Pedal scrapes during a deep lean can be incredibly dangerous.
In my opinion, it is much more important to have the right length f
Went out to look and you're correct on the Hollowtech BB. bummer. I'm
running the col de la vie 37mm tires, so not much room there. I guess will

If it's a recent 105, it's a Hollowtech BB, which is integrated into the
crank; to switch to the Sugino, you'd need a JIS square-taper BB in its
place
What tire size are you running? If you're on 32's, might want to try 38's,
