Barrel adjuster for back derailleur. Yes or No?

Galego · 2018-06-03 19:14:05

Cabling a new frame and have no idea if a cable barrel adjuster for the back derailleur is a must. What'd people suggest?

Not a must, but nice to have the option of making a small adjustment without having to stop and get off bike.

It's pretty useful when fine-tuning indexing.
