i have since tried to put the old crank-set on the new BB (same problem happens) could it be my FD? i feel like if i replaced the BB with a 122.5 i would have more space to play with the the FD? it hops far off the chain set in top gear, so i would think that there would be room to play around the the FD on a 122?

i am fairly new to setting up bikes so thank you for all your guys help
