veganbikes Thanks for the feedback. I thought I was going crazy with something as simple as a limit screw adjustment. I guess unless I take the time and effort to get the frame brazed with the ability to run the FD cable down the down tube, I may just be stuck with this set-up and chain rub issue. At the end of the day, how often are we really running our smallest two rear COGS for an extended period of time? I suppose, I could try to evaluate if there are SRAM specific derailleurs that would accept the FD cable coming down the seat-tube, however, I am guessing that the reason the bike shop (which put together this bike), selected this Microshift front derailleur is precisely because, SRAM never designed a front derailleur to accept a cable in this manner.
