Can a Tiagra TRIPLE front derailleur be used with a double ring set up?

    so as long as the stop screws are adjusted correctly it should be fine.

    It can but it will not be quite as good as a double one due to slightly different geometry. You should have no problem with overshifting as the travel is controlled by the stop screws not the shifter.
    There are 4 Tiagra front mechs. Double and triple in both clamp on or braze on fittings.
