I'm in the process of upgrading my bike to all shimano 105. I just got new front and rear deraileurs, shifters, and rear cassette. The problem I'm having is I still have my old triple crankset and I can't get new front derailleur to go far enough out to shift into the big gear. Since the new shifters are 2x11 I was planning on only using the big and middle gear on my front. I've adjusted the derailleur screw and increase the cable tension but I can't get it to the big gear, it's very close though. Is there a something I can do to make it work until I get a new crankset?

With the cable disconnected and the high limit screw backed all the way out, are you able to get it to shift by pushing the derailleur out with your hand?

If no, then it's not possible.

If yes, then you should be able to increase cable tension more and get it to work.
