where on a new setup should the barrel adjuster be all the way in or out?

[@damo.hutchinson]

I learnt in the bike shop to turn it all the way back in and then back out 2 turns before going to the derailleur end and pulling firmly and fixing in place with the bolt. This gives you some scope to adjust then

Day before a ride my cable broke. Luckly I found this video. You saved my day, sir.

[@mattw9667]

Wish I'd watched this before I buggered up my shifter. Any idea how to get the cable out if not inserted in the 10 cog?

[@roneysilveira7606]

Thanks, one more problem solved 👍👏🏻

[@joseflores138]

Since I have a 12 speed slx should I put it to the 12 lowest? Or still on 10

[@MTBXCSKI65]

I need the plastic screw that you removed to insert the cable, then reinstalled after inserting the cable. I haven't been able to find one at a bike shop or online. This is for a 2012 XT shifter. Can you help?

Shimano Y6CD3300 shifter cable hole plug available online!

[@glennoc8585]

Are you using the shimano cables? I mived to another brand as i found the coating was causing jamming as it wore. probably not as bad with mtb but even so i use aftermarket on road and mtb with no issues.

[@FreeToCycle]

Glenn, personally I always use shimano cables the polymer coated ones do damage very easily though!!
