Is my XT front Mech set up correctly ?? Photos

I have just fitted an M771 XT front Mech to my Giant.
It works fine but the cable routing looks weird as it comes out of the cable stop and then goes at an angle down to the side pull mech
Is it done correctly ??

I think it is a top pull low normal
Any comments welcome

Thanks.
Wasn't sue about the cable angle. Expected it to go vertically.
Always nice to be reassured.

i have seen the exact same set up in a few builds, my on one was also the same,as was my orange. does look odd but works fine.

It was also to do with where to route the trailing end of the gear cable

yup, is the same as mine, looks very odd but is how it is, the tail end of my cable runs down, under and up the black arm bitand is cable tied inplace on the end of the arm, (opposite to where it clamps) and there's just enough to poke the end into the slot on the clamp,

Some frames have the cable stop inclined so the cable exits neatly from it, but what you have their is perfectly normal.
