Thanks, I thought about filing it down but there isn’t much at the bottom of the slot to work with. So unless I start having some shifting problems I am inclined to leave it alone. Surprising that no thought would have been given to a 50/34 crank when designing the location for the bracket attachment. I have the 2013 version of this frame but it has a clamp on FD bracket so there wasn’t any problem setting the correct clearance with 50/34 rings.

If the bracket is beefy enough, you can lower the bolt slot with a file.
