SRAM GX rear derailleur

[Luis Rives]

On typical road rear derailleurs there is a barrel adjuster where the cable enters the derailleur for fine tension adjustment of the shift wire to exactly align the cassette with the rollers in the derailleur. In the GX there is no barrel adjuster so how are fine adjustments made of the derailleur to the cassette?

You need to splice inline adjusters into the cable housing. I prefer the indexed ones as they tend to hold the setting better.

Jagwire also sells barrel adjustors that fit in the cable insertion hole in the derailleur as well. I bought several 2-packs on Ebay and use them regularly. I have also successfully used the inline adjusters. The primary difference is cutting the housing to use the inline and not with the barrel in the derailleur.
