Trek Domane SL6 2018, Ultegra
Just serviced and indexed. Rides great until the FD cage seems to move while riding.
While playing with it I noted the cable seems to ride from the guide upward, rubbing the carbon? Good routing?

Could you explain more about how the cage is moving while riding?

If it were me I’d either put some helicopter tape around that section of the frame. Or use a section of those gear cable inner PTFE liners and use a short section where it goes over the cable guide.
I would use a cable sheath to protect the frame. Also curious about the unwanted auto shift function.
My Emonda is the same. Like you, I was unsure if I did it right due to how close to the bare frame the cable was but a check with the manual says it was installed correctly. Had no issues since.
