Should I be Concerned?
So i noticed that my front derailleur cable is extremely close to my rear tire. Internal cabling on my bike and i don't remember it being this close. Anyone else have this on there bike or have seen something like this, am i just being paranoid? Here's a couple of pictures.

I can't see it being a problem, the rear wheel is not going to move forward and rub the cable.
You did, however, make me get up and check my own bikes for something I have never even considered as an issue.

Only reason i became concerned was mainly because when i got the bike a couple month ago it wasn't this close so the cable moved closer somehow. Sometimes when i would clean the bike i wouldn't be able to slip my finger through to clean part of the frame, now i definitely can so it did move. Only question is how. I'm probably blowing this way out of proportion but i thought i'd see if anyone else has seen this.
