And, Steve was the winner! Definitely one of those, why didn't I think of
that, moments...
I picked up a 2.5mm BB spacer, pulled the crank, pulled the BB out, dropped the
spacer on, BB back in, crank back on, and tweaked the cable tension, dialed the
L and the H screws a tad...
Beautiful! I
Try a BB spacer on the driveside to bring the granny ring out a little
bit? Good luck! Problems like this drive me nuts.

Yeah, I concur with what others have said. If it's not far in enough with
the limit screw all the way out and the cable slack, you've got the wrong
derailleur. It's true that contemporary MTB triples are much farther out
than an XD on a 107mm BB would be, so that's probably the issue. I'd try
The double-shim on the non-drive side may help. It sounds like your
derailer is struggling with the short BB.

Leslie,
sometimes a bit of 'cold setting' of the derailer cage can improve its
performance. Perhaps try bending the lower portion of the outer cage wall
inward a bit to give it a bit more punch to the downward trajectory.

Derailleur is, 2mm, above the big ring when out that far. Cage is correctly
rotated, so the outer plate is parallel to the chain. But with no cable
tension, even with the cable removed and the L-screw turned to ring the plat

When you shift up to the big ring, how close is the derailleur to the ring.
You want to get it within 5mm. The other issue may be that the BB is too
long. You mentioned having lots of clearance, you probably should have
very little clearance. Do you have the option of experimenting with a
