I think this is the part that I am not visualizing correctly. To me, "shorten the adjuster fully until tight" means to tighten the barrel leading to a higher tension, but I think this is opposite of what you are wanting me to do.
If I make the cable shorter, am I making it more slack or more tense?
When I turn the barrel counterclockwise, what am I doing to the tension? What about clockwise turning?
Thank you!
