Adjusting cable tension when riding

[Bigtallfatbloke]

..is this a good plan..or dangerous?

 

[Smokin Joe]

I wouldn't do it on a close clearance frame, having once nearly lost a fingernail.

 

[Steve Austin]

Brakes? I've adjusted them on the go.
gears? Wouldn't touch them tbh, but then again they shouldn't need it anyway

 

[fossyant]

Stop, adjust, carry on...

 

[spandex]

Do it if you don't wish to stop your ride. I do it all the time

..is this a good plan?

How badly do you want to avoid crashing?

Have I done it, yes. Is it safe, not really.

 

[dodgy]

Are you talking about the trimming barrels? Sure, they're more or less made to be adjusted on the move, I do anyway.

If I could reach the adjusting screw on a 105 derailleur then I think I should get an award.

But brakes yes.
