Yeah, I saw this mentioned when hand-wringing over it. I'm not too concerned, but I know that I'll have to fiddle a bit. Hopefully I wont have to shim the granny ring (the rings on the new Shimano cranksets are set a little wider apart and the FDs were made to accommodate that), but that's not the end of the world if it comes to that.
