Thanks for the replies,

The LBS has adjusted the FD several times. They even put a new 105 FD on it. I have had it in 3 different times to have them try to get it working right. They have changed out front chainrings with new ones.

The problem seems to be that the adjustment can make it fall off the inside, outside or sometimes the chain would get stuck between the two chain rings and act as if it's freewheeling while the ramps are trying to lift the chain up to the big ring but can't quite do it.

The owner of the LBS thought the spacing of the two chainrings was a bit wide and tried to file the inside chain ring just a bit in order to stop the chain from getting stuck in the center. This has stopped the getting stuck in the center problem.

Should I just take it to another shop and see if they have better luck adjusting it.

Do 9 and 10 speed rings have a bit less space between them than 8 speed (where they mount to the crank arms) to accomadate the thinner chain?
