Repair gear cable adjusters

[[email protected]]

How do I repair the seized gear cable adjuster on my aluminium alloy
road bike frame. One, the left, was repaired (by drilling out the
exisiting seized adjuster, tapping the hole and fitting a new adjuster)
by my LBS recently but has now seized again.

Advice please. Thanks.

I had that problem, but on a steel frame. I replaced the cable adjuster
with a ferrule. The rear derailer has a built-in adjuster, so I didn't
need two adjusters.

Elsewhere on that bike I have an inline cable adjuster. You could use
one of those to replace the removed adjuster.

After you fix the problem, make sure you use some anti-seize on the threads.
