so i bought the wife a bike frame and built it up from parts salavaged from a bike with a broken frame and some online parts. everything works except the front derailleur. i cannot get the derailleur to swing out to the outerchain ring. it seems like there is not enough adjustment so at maximum pull it is only almost engaging the chain.
not sure how to fix it. can i just move a bottom bracket spacer to the non-drive side?
here are the details
-seat tube is 31.8
-derailleuer is shimano lx fd m571 top mount 34.9 with a shimano 31.8 spacer
-bottom bracket/chain ring is a race face ride x-type integrated spindle external bb 3 ring off a kona kula.
-bike is 68mm. i have 2 spacers on the drive side of the bb and 1 on the left as per instructions.
-chain line appears to be between 50 and 52mm
