Woah woah woah. Jake buy the SRAM Rival FD that is compatible. For road, they have they same shift ratios as Shimano. The triple FD will not work on a double crank, so don't go with the gay braze on adapter. Triple FDs have a different cage width and ramping than Double FDs. Your triple shifters will work on the double crank (C-dale does it all the time), you just limit the FD with the high/low screws. I think 2-3 shift combo works the best, I'll have to check on it, or Robbie or me can set it up.
