cut the donuts right off. No need for them on down-tube cable routing, they are always going to migrate towards the bottom bracket from vibration and cause more headaches... I've owned quite a few bikes with down-tube cable routing, never one with donuts
Can you take a close-up of the cable connection at the FD? It looks....off in that pic. And a pic so we can see alignment of the FD on the chainring (on large chainring). If its not parallel and at the right height, it can be problemtic (speaking from 13+ years of doing my own building - yep been there!)
Otherwise...I dunno. I Always fine tune on the bike myself. They shift a tiny bit different for me than in the stand.
