Although it is bloody old
People seem to be fascinated by flat feet, so I thought I'd share mine.
I’ve lived with these flat feet for 48 years. Surprisingly, I don't feel any pain or fatigue even after walking for a long time. In fact, I can walk longer and better than almost anyone I've ever known. My walking posture isn't weird at all either; it's completely fine. On top of that, I’ve always been a great athlete.
Pretty neat, isn't it?
Hey everyone, I'm currently riding a 2023 Checkpoint ALR 5 and running 45mm tires. I'm looking to add full-coverage fenders, but I'm wondering if there will be any clearance issues.
Has anyone run this setup? Do you get any toe overlap or rubbing near the chainstays/fork bridge?
