I'm after a crank and chain ring,the chainset i'm using at mo is a double which was on the bike when i got it,but is buggered now so need to swap........But it gets complicated cos the crank is 165mm and i get alot of toe overlap so want to go shorter and the chainring is 42t but does anyone know what crank/chainring combo i would need then to keep the gearing im using at the mo,oh the rear is 14t by the way. The bottom bracket is i think 110mm but is old style cup and axel that seems fine.
any help/advice muchos appreciated....oh i don't want to spend alot

with that gear ratio you're pushing 80 or so gear inches (a lot) with one skid patch as matt pointed out. if you want to reduce toe overlap a different pedal set up might help - clipless pedals like SPDs or egg beaters with the cleat on the shoe as far forward as possible helps but generally its pretty difficult to irradicate without changing the forks. to be honest you just get used to it and as long as pedal strike isn't bad you just learn to lean in rather than steer when cornering.

what frame is it like?
