hmmm so started to look at my build of the boardman pro and was removing the ultegra triple as i always hated the fact it never worked properly --- then i had the thought of making it a super-compact double and started some research online
what came up was that i should have spacer on my triple (2 actually, one on the NDS and one on the DS) i have only the NDS side - which is probably the cause of the problems with the shifting....
if i wanted to go down the super compact route - would i need to change the middle chainring to one that is designed to be the last ring on the crank? an outer? or would the front mech be enough to stop it from dropping?
