Inline barrel adjuster needed?
Moderator: robbosmans
In the past I never installed a IBA for my FD. Even on my Addict I never needed one.
But recently on my TMR02, after a couple hundred miles, I noticed I can change to big ring, but when I drop it to small chainring front, it won't go.
Then I would have to shift to lower cassette where the chain alignment rubs against the FD cage slightly to push it down.
I'm using QXL and old Sram Red 10sp groupset.
Thanks.

Low adjuster screw on front mech needs adjusting or the front mech is not aligned properly in my honest opinion

Sometimes the cable gets gummed up where it routes beneath the bottom bracket.
Sports drinks or gooey rider phlegm. I try to run a short section the tightest plastic cable sheathing available.
Same for the rear cable passing thru there.

nope they are a hassle that look terrible and lead to shorter cable life
Sounds like the cable tension needs to be loosened slightly, easier to do that than without a barrel adjuster than to go the other way sometimes.

You could also simply have the FD on crooked if the cable tension and set screws seem OK. It could also be too high above the big chairing and screwing up the shifting.
