You need to adjust the front derailleur a tiny bit ("trim") as you shift the rear to avoid the rubbing. As you shift the rear, then chain moves left to right inside the front cage and will rub when in the extreme gears in the back. No way around it.... unless you get the new electronic Dura-Ace which I hear does the trim automatically.
