It looked like you have a 9sp setup there. Can't quite be sure from the
image.

Couple things to check -
I think I see a metal ferrule where the end of the cable goes into the
derailleur. Sometimes those don't fit all the way down into the cable
adjuster.  I usually end up with the composite ones there.

I swapped derailleur pulleys when I moved over to the CX setup, and haven't
had a ghost shift since then (It was not ever a big problem for me, but it
would happen every once in a great while).  Using the floating pulley with a
cassette system can cause slight chain wandering with a friction system. If
you are slightly off on your trim, it can force-shift itself, which is what
the index systems are really designed to do.

Maybe a link less in the chain?  (Can't quite see what that will do in
Large/Large if you run that combo, though...)

Is the der. loop housing a touch long?  That's one place where I tend to use
the factory cut (Shimano) bit.

Great looking ride!
