Hi, my front DA triple derailleur has been going out of adjustment,
way too often. I finally figured out that the barrel adjuster on the
down tube, is loosening, on its own. I had counted the turns, and I
had it out 7 quarter turns. On a ride today, I checked it, and it was
2 turns away from being completely screwed all the way in.
What is causing it to turn on its own? And what is the fix for this?
It is the second adjuster, I have installed. The first time I thought
the adjuster was bad, that it wasn't turning out. I know this one is
turning, as I can see the inner piece, move outward. I had greased the
threads, when I installed it, was that a mistake?
Now that I know what it is, it is easy to check, but I would prefer to
remedy the problem.
Life is Good!
