<\/a>So now that is out in the open we gots to deal with it. I tried these crappy inline barrel adjusters that had come on my cannondale, but they were worthless.<\/p>\n<\/a>
They are also sold under the Jagwire brand, which is good since only excel sells the ritchey ones. I like excel a whole lot, but ordering an $11 part from Colorado seemed goofy… I’d end up buying some other stuff I don’t need to make the order big enough to justify shipping. I picked up these for $11 from Speedgoat<\/a>. They work like a champ, problem solved. It would easily work placed in the rear XTR derailleur, but it might be one more spot for mud to creep in to the cable.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
