I just built up a new bike using 5700 derailleurs and MicroShift shifters. My old bike had cable adjusters for both cables on the DT at the upper cable stops but my new frameset is internal cabling and has no means for barrel adjusters. Of course the RD has an adjuster but I have no adjustment anywhere inline of the FD cable. When I first put the bike together the front shifting was pretty good but just a little off. This required me to push the button twice to shoft down to the small ring and going up I was out of trim when on the big ring. Not a big problem but I want the full range of motion where it's suppose to be so I'll be able to use my trim to eliminate noise when cross chaining (which I find myself doing more now with the double than I ever did with my triple).

I tried adjusting the cable by pulling it tighter at the FD and then loosening it but this is really had to fine tune. I know many bikes/drive systems doesn't have any adjustment for the FD cable and I've also found inline barrel adjusters that can be added. What's the standard practice here? Do many just run no adjusters or do most install the inline barrel adjusters? I'm probably in the range of 1/4 turn adjustments now and it's working fine but I know it could be a little better.
