Original rear derailleur cable housing screw. Can also be modified if the specifications match!
Descriptions
The RISK RC122 Barrel Adjuster Screw is designed for bicycle shifters, derailleurs, and cable housing adjustment systems. Made from lightweight aluminum alloy, it provides a practical replacement or upgrade for original cable adjuster screws on road bikes, mountain bikes, gravel bikes, folding bikes, and urban bikes.
Available in M5 and M6 thread options, the RC122 allows riders and mechanics to fine-tune cable tension for smoother shifting or braking adjustment depending on the compatible component. The black anodized finish gives it a clean and professional appearance, while the lightweight aluminum structure helps reduce unnecessary weight.
The M5 version is generally suitable for Shimano-style shifter or derailleur cable adjuster positions, while the M6 version is generally suitable for SRAM-style applications. This is only a reference guide; please measure your original adjuster screw before purchase to confirm the correct thread size.
