Doesn’t q factor plus pedal spindle length play into the wide fork thing? As in “if” the legs align with them? If you run your legs splayed out, will it help at all?
couple things to unpack here. the concise term is stance width. the Q + the distance from the pedal shoulder to pedal center = stance width. now, for me, stance width is both a biomechanical and an ergonomic issue, as well as a clearance issue. (my heels hit the chain stay on the drive side, and the crankset). so, for example, let's say that i could show you that lowering your saddle provides a clear aero benefit? would you do so? i feel the same way about stance width. for me, because of my specific issues that are not negotiable, i can't really mess with stance width.
