Right....my mistake. It's late and I've been thinking about it too much. It should reach the outer chain ring easier with a shorter BB. What I meant to say was, it will then not reach the inner (smallest) chainring. Of course, it really doesn't reach it now.

There's the problem. I can't reach all three chainrings at the same time.

I think I'm going to have to go with a new triple front derailler, and add a cable guide to the bottom of the BB shell.
