the chainring bolts in pista arms are pressed into the spider arms so that they are flush (on the cs side). i'm guessing your strada arms aren't like this. there is some clearance to be had with the pista arms over you strada arms if this is the case. (i'm a ssuming the bolts or the spider is where the clearance issue is and not the chainring). i'd guess only 2-3mm though.
