Could you use something like this to lower the FD further?

fucking hell, just bought an FSA supercompact adapter yesterday for a LOT more than that. Couldn't believe how much they cost, still can't

I struggle to see quite how that works — does it bolt to the inside or outside of the bracket?
Shimano explicitly requires the outer cage plate to clear the big ring by <1 mm. The optimum way would be to remove the existing bracket and replace it with a new deeper bracket, riveted in to the existing rivet holes. But executing that mod is perilous and likely not a DIY job.

Has anyone here modified a Supersix (mine is 2011 model) to use the 46/30T Spiderring? The bracket for the front mech is located for a 50T min big ring, so way I see it is either the bracket must be replaced with one that has a deeper slot, or removed to permit the use of a band-on.
