I’ve recently built up a CX bike and have come across a problem. There is a bit of foot/wheel crossover, I’m used to this on my road bike because –
I use a rearward cleat position, I have wide long feet but I have a short reach so many of my frames are 54-56.
This has never ever been a problem on the roadie, but I figure it could be a problem with CX! I’ve already had some dicey moments!
So I’m trying to figure how to fix it, I don’t want to change cleat position as I get knee pain if I move the cleat forward, I have some new wider shorter shoes but still problems.
What I am working out is whether I need a new frame and would this help. But I’m struggling with what I am looking for, essentially an increase rake, to move the front wheel forward without a massive increase in reach from a large frame
This is the frame I have. I rather like it so I don’t want to ditch it if I don’t have to,
I find interesting if these numbers are correct that the wheelbase doesn’t change much between frame sizes. Would the BB to front wheel change at all?

Thanks for the help!
