I currently have a Shimano 6503 FD. Actually, as of today it is working but not 100%. I have the derailleur set so close to the middle ring that the teeth on the middle ring barely touch (by a hair) the back plate of the front Deraileur when it is in some positions. I have TA chainrings. I was thinking that a double front Der would work because the only difference between a double and triple is that the back plate of a triple extends lower. I think the Shimano 6800 would work as well as a CX Deraileur.
