It's designed to work with a 50-39-30 chainring set. I assume your smallest chainring is a 30, not a 39 as you've posted. You probably need a 9-speed or wider triple front derailleur.

You're right - It's a ten speed designed for the 50/39/30 and I have a 52/39/30, not what I wrote above (my mistake).

Well, that sucks - Could have sworn that 105 would do 52 teeth... Told you I was a noob.

Anyhow, it shifted okay on all three rings with the Wally World chain, it just rubbed on the bottom ring. I'll try the 8 speed chain tomorrow and see how it works out - it was cheap. Otherwise, I'll start searching for a 9 speed triple.

Thanks for your help as well.
