front derailleur cable touches rear tire.

This is on a Giant TCR composit with campy 10 speed components. How
would I move the cable away from the wheel... the front derailleur
is a braze-on mount. Thanks.

Which end of the wire. Is it the wire leading up to the front
derailleur
or the end that comes out from the derailleur.

sorry, it was my stupidity... the giant frame, when turned upside
down reveals a hole that allows the cable to pass
though the frame and thereby move substantially away from the tire...
I had not seen this hole and now that I am making correct use of it
all is well! simple solution: look before leaping!

Are you sure you should be working on your bike? Perhaps a
professional would be a safer choice for you.

Honestly and with real concern.

Piffle. It was an honest mistake, and was not a cause for "concern".
How is someone to learn how to take care of his own bike with "experts"
like this spreading FUD?
