Awesomeguy The word "tension" in cable tension might cause you to imagine mysterious things that have no impact on setting your DR's up correctly. Think of it as cable "length". What you are doing when you attach the cable to the pinch bolt or turn a barrel or inline adjuster is setting the length of the cable. Not it's tension. If you are in fact changing the cable tension when you adjust the barrel or inline adjusters, then you might be against the stop and not doing anything or something else is wrong.
