Shifter with stuck barrel adjuster I've been looking for a solution on this but couldn't find anything online. I have an Alfine 8 speed internal gear hub and it started skipping recently. I tried to use the barrel adjuster on the shifter to adjust, but the barrel adjuster got stuck and it won't turn in any direction anymore. Is there a way to fix this? I can still pull the barrel adjuster slightly (as if I am about to make an adjustment), and can turn in both directions a couple of millimetres, but it does not go forward more than that. Can I solve it by any means or should I just replace the shifter? This is the shifter by the way:

Thanks!
You can install an inline cable adjuster. There are several companies that make them.
