there is an old trick that you can do if you want - modify the shape of the outer part of the FD cage. But I would do this as a last resource. I wanted two more gears without trimming when in the lower chain ring on my Kestrel Evoke with SRAM Rival and I did it (I remembered we used to do this on our friction shifting bikes in the early 80s)... worked like a charm. It only rubs in the 10th gear, and you're not supposed to cross chain like that anyway (and I don't).

Here's a link to what I posted: http://www.bikeforums.net/showthread...ng-help-please.
