Hi!

I just changed my flip chips to low and the bike feels sooooo much better, HOWEVER, I noticed I'm getting more pedal strikes.

Any suggestions on how to reduce that....besides me making better line choices!! Thanks.

...I mean....this is what will help the most. Timing and a bit more thought. If you've just switched it, I am sure you'll adjust pretty quick. Was the same on my Nomad 4, but got used to it after a few rides.

What helps me most with pedal strikes is to get off and walk my bike haha
