dog fangs work really well. I have it on one of my bikes and it does the job perfectly---of course, you do need to be sure that the adjustment screw on your fd is properly adjusted--just that will help with keeping your chain on.
My bike with a dog fang also has a 50/39/30 triple that I changed out to a 26t
check out installation details, but you want it to be as close as possible and positioned correctly vertically also, and it will work well.
