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.
