How do I thread rear derailleur cable through this adjuster? this is a Lemond Zurich from around 1999 that I'm converting to 10 speed in rear. I can't get the cable to thread past this metal part that seems to be a fine adjustment for rear derailleur. I can't pull it apart. There is a spring mechanism between the part attached to bike frame and the rotating adjustment. Any experience with this? Ideas?
Thanks,
Bob
They don't pull apart; the idea is that you're getting the couple mm of adjustment range you actually need, and the upside is it's an attempt at the easiest possible design to adjust on the fly while riding. If there's something physically blocking the hole for the cable, you could presumably clear it by poking a pin or needle through. Make sure the cable isn't actually getting stuck at the end of the housing though, either by the ferrule or by the end not being prepped properly.
