“When you turn the front wheel on a frame with steep geometry, you don’t immediately put the tire on its edge – you’re still on the midpoint of the tire. Legg-Compton says that despite the Crockett having a longer front center and slacker head tube angle than Trek’s current Cronus carbon fiber CX flagship, the new bike actually handles faster.
“Even though she rides 175mm cranks – and she doesn’t have small feet – she only just nicks the tire with her toes so anyone riding a normal size for this bike won’t have any issues.” “The biggest thing she was trying to address was front wheel overlap,” he told BikeRadar. According to Compton’s coach, mechanic and husband, Mark Legg-Compton, Trek’s new Crockett handily addresses all of those issues by tweaking the front-end geometry.
