mud only really catches the bottom bracket area a bit .
Here's a Q then, and feel free not to bother as it's a bit weird, but what's the distance between tip of your riding shoes and centre / bolts of cleat?

TIA :cool:

[edit - this is obviously potentially irrelevant as you might ride flats :lol: :lol: ]

Cheers.

Having checked mine they're 10.5 and 11 cm (different pairs, not different feet :roll:).

Good to know that a large is most likely to fit. Just need to resist temptation to buy on line :oops:

Their geo charts list the large as having a 22mm longer wheelbase so that's how much further forward the wheel is going to be away from your toe. Looking at your pic (unless it's a weird angle distorting things) that isn't going to be enough to totally clear it....

I once hire a cervello road bike in Tenerife. It fitted me great everywhere else but the toe overlap was horrendous!
I nearly fell off a few times in traffic :oops:
