Good work - glad you got it sorted!

For reference, since I'd taken the photos before realising you'd prevailed..

No worries - should have read your last post more thoroughly before dragging out all of the necessary gear... although it has again highlighted to me what a lovely steed the Genesis is and how I need to sort it out / start riding it again!

Loch side.
The spacer arrangement is as they should be if installing an MTB crankset due to the longer axle length. As the OP installed a road crankset with a shorter axle, spacers shouldn't be used (see pic below). The chainline on road FDs will is something like 43mm compared to 48-49mm on MTB FDs. Since the chainrings are 5mm further out than they should be, the FD will have issues covering the space even when the H limit screw is maxed out.

You are of course correct. I missed the Tiagra bit and just focussed on the fact that it is a triple and therefore a MTB crank.

Glad to see the OP got his question answered correctly.
