Hi,

My front mech needs adjusting, and at the moment doesn't have a micro-adjuster in the cable. I've always found it a lot easier to use one of the barrel micro adjusters to get that fine tuning just right, and so have bought one of these to fit.

There does seem to be an awful lot of bits though. Ayone fitted one of these and has any tips or know of any guides on which bit goes where, and which end goes which way up?

    The kit consists of 2 adjusters with ferrules for both brake and gear cables. You need one adjuste and 2 ferrules, the ones that slide over the cable outer best. Probably the ones without the steps. It does not matter which way round you have them. I prefer the end with the ridges on towards the lever but that is just me.
