Hey all,

I haven't put too many miles on the bike but the shifting has become a little bit sloppy. I read that by adjusting the cables using the barrel adjusters you can take care of this easily. Whats the easiest way to go about this?

thanks!
Emilio

ps - its a cannondale r700 Triple (105 except rear derailur which is ultegra)

I think you need to unscrew the barrel adjuster. Try half turns.
