I have the FSA front derailleur on my bike. Except for those times when rushed into the 34 while pedaling fast, it's never dropped off the ring on me. I rode a 58 mile ride today and because much of it was an uphill grade for miles I was switching from my 50 to 34 pretty regularly without a hitch. Ironically after taking a break at my turn-around point I was pumping up a steep hill and dropped into the 34 and it hopped off on me.
I re-read my main post and noticed I missed a few letters here and there. I guess I had not had enough coffee in me when I was typing. I also noted my math is a bit off. There is a 16 tooth difference between a 50 and 34 chainring.
Today's ride included a stop at the Bike Commute Month party. I had a free spaghetti dinner there. I didn't see anybody I knew so I went on my ride after hanging around a bit.
