damaged thread on shimano 105 rear derailleur

[so solid crew]

105 Derailleur threading stripped where barrel adjuster screws into--what should I do now?

 

[rivers]

New rear derailleur?

Start another thread?

Consider a helicoil.

 

[fossyant]

In-line adjuster and carry on using it.

 

[Velochris]

As above. If required, bond in and then fit inline adjuster.

Happened to me once. I just bought a new RD.

At £40 - £50 ish for another one, need to consider how much time you would need to spend to bodge it or to fit an online adjuster, then if it didn't work, you would have to buy another one anyway.

Need to put a value on your time and convenience.

 

[Velochris]

Or you could buy my used Ultegra 6800 (see for sale and if requiring 11 speed).

May as well try.

I have a 105 r7000 short cage going spare if that's what you're after

SRAM mech's don't have an adjuster on the mech - it's either the shifter or an in-line adjuster for those duties. Save your dosh.

 

[Erasmus]

Presumably it's the RD you're looking at? I've got a SRAM Rival rear mech and it's got a cable tension adjuster barrel where the cable goes into the mech, and so have various others I've seen advertised.

 

[Erasmus]

What a numpty (me) - only just realised your thread title says it's the rear mech!
