I've just fitted new cables (inner and outer) for my gear shifters. My rear derailleur is an 8-speed Acera. The problem I'm having is that the ferrule where the outer cable terminates (derailleur end) is getting stuck in the barrel adjuster. I physically can't turn the barrel adjuster without pliers, and when I do, the outer twists (which can't be good).
On the other hand, I can't *not* push the ferrule into the barrel adjuster otherwise there would be nothing for it to adjust. Is this a common problem, if so any ideas what I'm doing wrong?
I've had a look on another bike and the cable ferrule can spin within the metal part of the barrel adjuster, something that's not happening on my bike.
