How did you compensate for the chainline issues? I tried a couple years ago and was very unhappy with the results, For what are now obvious reasons I couldn't get the derailleur to swing out far enough. Granted I spaced the crankset per the instructions, in hind sight I should have at a bare minimum swapped the spacers or placed all 3 on the non drive side, though I'm not sure if the crankset shift would have been noticable. MTB triple chainlines are 50mm while I believe Road Triples and their derailleurs are set for 43.5mm. I know the IRD Alpina calls for a 43.5mm chainline. I'm also starting to consider moving back to a square taper setup as I think that should make the whole chainline thing a non issue as long as I can find a decent ramped and pinned JIS crankset. Sorry to derail the thread btw, though it may help the OP.
