I had this same problem but discovered in my case at least that the barrel adjuster was already completely undone. The outer part of the adjuster obscures this from view. By loosening the cable clamp and applying some tension it was easy to screw the barrel adjuster all the way back in. Once you've reclamped the cable, the adjuster works perfectly fine. Check for this before you swap out the adjuster itself.

I was checking the setting and tuning of Shimano Ultegra-R8000 gear system in my bike. I also found that Shimano Ultegra has a useless barrel adjuster in the back Derailleur as explained here. It actually is a silly flaw made by Shimano engineers. While figuring it out to set and tune the back derailleur, it wasted my complete weekend. Finally I could fix and ride, but now I am considering to change the barrel adjuster to older system which is worth of doing it. Actually this video helped me a lot to figure me out why the barrel adjuster was not working.

Good video. You can also use pliers to gently grip the metal sleeve inside the plastic and turn the barrel adjuster that way.

Thank you for your video. I was having an issue with my Ultegra 8000 RD. I rotate and nothing happened. I went ahead and ordering Ultegre 6800 barrel adjuster to replace the R8000.

Cheers once again! I thought it was me, but the new ones are a really crappy design and I ended up using pliers to adjust which just trashes the plastic bit. Your videos are great for the home mechanic, keep up the good work

Extra : I worked out a hack with the broken mount... I Cut out a 90 degree angle into the top of the mount with a sharp knife, saw-in with a thin metal saw a slight notch in the back wall of the mount to inserted a metallic washer that sits on the newly cut out "floor". The screw now has solid grounds to hold and not go through the top part of the mount. Wish I could just upload an image of the thing... would be much clearer. ;-)

after this video I drew a tiny line on the barrel adjuster to see better if it was actually turning. the barrel adjuster has tiny notches. if you put a thin nail, needle or allen key into one of those notches you can turn the barrel adjuster. Assumedly the tiny plastic thing of the barrel adjuster's outer casing is suppused to go into those notches and turn the barrel adjuster. Or just turn it with finger grip. the drawn line helps to see if you're actually moving it.

I had this cheesy adjuster on the GRX derailleur . In my case the thread had seized on the adjuster due to me not lubricating it post wash. As you say you just keep turning the plastic outer and that wasn't turning the inner. It's a cr*p design. I had to remove derailleur, mole gripsand WD40 to get adjuster out then replace.

Just wondering if we need to use the Cover with the Tongue - Y5PV48000? It’s the tiny thin rubber tube on the mech just before the barrel adjuster screws into the slot? The gear cable goes though it. Thanks!

My RD 6800 barrel adjuster threads stripped out in the housing and since the derailleur was getting a bit old I decided to buy a R8000. For the life of me I couldn't figure out wtf I was doing wrong as it didn't seem to matter how many times I turned the stupid barrel adjuster, nothing would happen. I'm a big fan of Shimano components but this is pretty crappy if it's such a widespread issue. The front shifters eating cables is bad enough lol...

Hi there, thanks for the video, great work. I have the same issue, the plastic outer is just spinning, I have ordered a replacement. This may sound like a stupid question but I'm assuming the current barrel adjuster just unscrews anticlockwise to remove it, doesn't appear to move at all at the moment due to the plastic outer. Thanks
@FreeToCycle
@FreeToCycle 5 жыл бұрын
Simon yes the adjuster unscrews out anti-clockwise. Then you can install the new one and adjust the derailleur without any issues.

You will have to remove the cable stop, if you’re lucky you can just pull the stop off with a par of pliers if not you will have to cut the cable.

I have not tried to adjust the rear derailleur r8000, as it's working perfectly, if these barrel adjusters don't work correctly it's enough to say something to shimano directly, and not something nice!!! You can bet that when I go to try it, if it doesn't function, I will be GETTING in contact with the company!!!! If the problem is what you say it is, WTF are the engineering people doing at Shimano!!!!!!

the issue isn't the rubber outer, it's the tiny plastic bit between the rubber outer and the metal screw. After a few turns in anger this bit of plastic will have worn it's edges out and will just slide round. i've just replaced my new R8000 one with the one off my old 5700 105 set.
