Here's another way to remember it: if it won't downshift quickly or completely (and with a bar end shifter you need to "overshift" or pull beyond the click to get the shift to complete) the cable's not pulling enough, i.e., not enough tension. If it's lazy upshifting, there's too much cable tension. The barrel adjuster or inline adjuster is a right hand threaded screw. When you unscrew it (i.e., turn it anticlockwise) it backs out, which makes the housing longer, which adds tension to the cable -- exactly like the tension adjuster on the brake. Does anybody have any trouble remembering how to use the barrel adjuster on a brake? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
