Just saying older Cannondale is a bit vague as well, if asking about a specific part, knowing the brand/model/part number is useful.
Sorry to have been too brief -- wife says otherwise. It is a 2001 Cannondale T-800 and the barrel adjuster is in-line along the cable, well away from the brakes (Avid Shorty 4) or the controls (Shimano Tiagra STI Dual Control levers). Maybe I'll just try tightening the cable from the brake end, if you think turning the barrel alone might not show significant movement.
