Finally
I just got my bike out of the shop today, I dropped if off on the 12, need a new rear wheel casset, new chain, another tune up for the year, and I was hoping they could work on the front derailer. Well they did get all that done, and finally the front derailer works the way I think it should work. For the last 3 years the front derailer would not move the chain down to the smallest gear, unless I was going a high speed (just the opposite of what I needed) On the ride home I tried it out, and wow — it dropped down to the smallest set with such ease.
