Shifter is a old RS685 + a GRX 810 front mech. Supposedly I could've got away with using the 105 front mech we had but didn't want the hassle.

I thought the crankset + front mech had to be grx, the rest didn't matter?

appearantly the chainrings are outboard by 2.5mm(? pls confirm @Alb )

damitamit in reply to @amey

Yep, so you need the grx front mech. Shifter doesn't matter.

As with all things stated Shimano compatibility, take it with a pinch of salt. I’d imagine regular road FD’s have enough throw and adjustment to easily accommodate a +2.5mm chainline
