+ that for me, too. The only possible new FD you'd need would be an actual compact-specific FD, and whether you actually need that is debatable.

I'm running a bontrager 36-50 compact crank with a 105 double FD. I only need to use my trim clicks when in the 36 ring and the smallest two cogs, or the 50 ring and the largest 3 cogs.

edit- is it a braze-on FD? perhaps they couldn't lowed your double FD enough to work with your small ring?
