Need to replace the Front derailleur on my Giant TCR, it's a 105 (5700) 10 group set with compact crankset. (Left shifter is a double)

In my parts bin I have a spare triple 10 speed derailleur (FD-5703). Will I be able to successfully fit the triple FD without experiencing any shifting issues ?

Cheers

    Yes you can.I used one for quite some time when I went from 105 triple groupset to 105 compact crankset and never had a problem .LBS set it all up when transferring the groupset from one bike to another and I never had to trim it.
