    Not happy with my cable for my XT front mech, seems no matter how I route it (after the wire fixing bolt) it hits the chain.

    Routed from the top, let’s see your close up pix please

    Put a bend in the cable just past the fixing bolt.

    Not my bike, BTW.

    Here’s mine

    I’ve tucked out the back plate for now. Photo is a bit deceiving as wheel is out and chain isn’t on rings.

    If it’s too complicated for you, take it to a bike shop.
