I assume you had to move it up the frame when you put on a big ring? Make sure the FD cage is correctly aligned.
You will be right with that. What I have set up now is a compromise to let me achieve as little noise but this does mean some noise on both rings. However, if I was to properly set it up, I may be able to eliminate the noise on one ring but more on the other.

I did move the derailleur up the frame a bit and tried to make sure that the cage was parallel with the big ring. Measured the height from the teeth, etc.

If I am right, the images I have seen of the the cages seems to suggest that the 4600 is slightly less curved and maybe a little longer than the CX70?
