I feel your pain.

I think you need some cranks with more "Q factor" to get your feet farther apart as you ride. My unicycles (KH29er Freestyle and KH24) came with the earlier KH Onza cranks which had a fair amount of Q factor. When I saw the new Isis hub 24s coming out with the straighter crank arms, I hurried to buy an old style KH24 unicycle because I am much more comfortable riding with some pedal offset. As a result I never make contact with the frame. If you ever find your feet tend to ride wide on the pedals or hang off the ends, that is another indicator you might want more Q factor.

Mine have those marks too. Rode for ages without leg armour, as soon as I started wearing KH leg armour it wore the paint away from my frames. Not that I mind, gets scratched anyway.
