Gears

Just had my 2nd mechanical issue since starting this blog (1st was the tyre).

Rear gears went out of alignment last week. I readjusted them but still had issues so I replaced the cable. It turned out that the old cable had frayed out of sight inside the shifter.

Annoyingly though both barrel adjusters on the bike (one on the rear mech and another on the down tube) have corroded and are unusable so I got a cool little inline adjuster that goes between 2 parts of the outer cable although when I've tuned the gears the vibration from the road gradually unwinds this inline adjuster and they detune themselves again. Need to find a solution.
