Changed both gear cables and some of the outers on OHs bike, all very smooth now.

Adjusting the brakes on the commuter only to find the rear barrel adjuster has seized so the plastic knob is spinning but nothing is moving so i have to take it off the bike and use pliers to get the metal barrel out of the brake caliper , this pretty much destroys the plastic bit .
A quick search on google yields no results for a replacement bit and the lower spec single piston ones i have by the same manufacturer are a different size !
I manage to reassemble the adjuster so it works although its not pretty and i have made a bid on a pair of the same model on ebay and i got a set for £16 .
When the replacement comes i will recable as well as it looks like the metal cable end had also rusted into the barrel as well so with the mangled plastic bit the cable end doesn’t sit properly in the barrel now .
It works but it aint pretty
