Hey guys, my Radon Regard 10.0 arrived and I love the looks of it! Anyways… My toes touch the front wheel when I turn the steering wheel sharply. When I use my platform pedal, I don't have the problem. But I'm still unsure, does anyone else have this problem? Is this perhaps even normal on a gravel bike? Since this never happened on my hardtail

Toe overlap.
It happens on drop bar bikes with big tires. Some bikes are worse than others. Also depends on your bike size relative to your height and the size of your feet. Im 6ft and wear a 46 shoe and ride a 56cm frame that has a little of it. It was much worse when I rode a 54cm frame.
Never an issue on rides.
There aren’t really any situations where it happens while riding except slow speed turns when you’re just getting on or off the bike. When you’re riding at speed you lean to turn and never turn the bars enough for the toe overlap to happen.
For me, it’s likely to happen when I’m turning left out of my garage into my driveway to head off on a ride. Shouldn’t be a real issue for you.
Yeah mine has that as well, it has never been an actual issue during a ride, I don’t even think about it.
