So the rear der doesn't have it's own adjuster already? It's a newer SRAM or Shimano? The frame has no cable stop with adjuster?
Adjusting a cable while riding isn't my higher priority but then I don't race. So I'd place the in line adjuster as I suggested with a brake one. Most won't appreciate my approach to cable routing and fittings placement. As example I would likely not buy a bike that didn't already accommodate adjusters onto the frame. Just one more reason I don't have internally routed cables on the bikes I build. Andy.
