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

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.
