Five or six years ago I found a vintage set of aluminum DT barrel adjusters at a bike swap. No brand or maker’s mark, standard threading (!), and I have yet to find out who made them despite many valiant internet searches. These are an homage to that vintage set.
Now in ultralight aluminum!
Made in WA.
Material: 6061 Aluminum
Threading: M5 x 0.8
Length: 1” OAL
Weight: ~1g each including spring
They come inside a lasered tin, which you can re-purpose later for beeswax (nature’s loc-tite) or your favorite ointment.
