I'm having shifting issues with the compact crank that I never noticed with my triple. Namely, when I am in the small ring in front (34), I can only shift about half way up my cassette before the chain touches the rear derailleur. Then I have to shift into my big ring (50) to get access to any of the higher chainrings. Is this normal?

I'm considering bringing it into my LBS but it seems like it would be unnecessary expense since I've only had for ten days...
