All Shimano Tiagra 4600 Drive Train
I replaced an old front shifter cable and now my FD isn’t shifting well. It takes a lot of effort and cable tension to shift into low gear and it springs back with quite a bit of force when shifting into low gear, knocking the cage out of alignment.
I also uninstalled the FD to give it a clean/lube so maybe I reinstalled it erroneously?
Thanks in advance!
Front Derailleur shifting really hard when tension is relieved

The cable is clamped incorrectly, and the FD is mounted also way higher than it should be.
When there is no tension the springs on the shifter will just default close to the fram
The cable is routed on the wrong side of the cable pinch bolt
Needs to be routed to the right of the bolt, not to the left … like so

Looks good to me, mine needed 200km break in to work.
