If that is the case, it's worth setting it correctly, and then testing if the shifting will be acceptably good (or acceptably bad
) for the rider.
there a 20 to 30 deg. divergence from the diameter of the large Chainring.. that's too much..... upshifts to the large ring will be sluggish and vague. the cage tail being that far back can, and often does, make the very noise Het Volk complained about.
now.. add the fact that the Advent Groups are meant for mostly MTB use... guess what usually happens when you shift an MTB front der. to the large ring of a compact road crankset? Cage rub on the small ring, which, in turn, limits outward range of motion.
and, in extreme cases, the "too high" tail bridge of the ft. der. can interfere with the chain... although this is more common on triple cranks...
