The 38/36 shift is going to be a problem. Your front derailleur's inner cage plate will hiit the 36T if the cage is set properly above the 38T chainring and if the derailleur is set to clear the 36T, it will be way to far above the 38T to shift at all well. Unfortunately, half-step gearing pretty much went away as cassette cogs exceeded 6 or 7-speeds
