Erik: Before you swap, try simply raising the derailleur so the cage barely
clears the stay. I had no problem using my circa 2011 LX fd with a 38 t
ring in 2nd "big" position after I removed the 46 t outer ring in 3d
position (replaced latter with guard); I didn't even lower the fd, simply
screwed
I'm working on putting together my shiny new gold Sam H that I picked up
from the Rivendell shop today. Everything was coming together beautifully,
until I went to install the front derailleur. It's a Shimano 105-5700 for a
2x set up. I'm running a Silver Wide/Low double with a 38 / 24. The
