Hello,
I have a second-hand touring bike with STI shifters and barrel adjusters on
the tubes just a few centimeters from the shifters.
They don't seem to do anything, I can turn them either way without any
visible change and they don't ever hit a limit. I never had to tweak them
until now so this is the first time I realise they actually don't do
anything!
Is it a well known problem? Maybe the threads are gone...
Cheers,
Arnaud.

I checked mine really closely a few months ago and found that the barrel
had actually split into 2 pieces and was doing nothing. I removed the
whole thing altogether...best thing I ever done, never used it anyway.
