Does anyone know if there is a shift adjuster I can install that will work in a braze on cable stop on the down tube. This is for a Salsa Fargo and on the frame I have the little cable sockets not the square braze ons that are typically used. I would like to find a solution that uses the braze ons on the frame that I have and does not use a clamp on stop holder.

Thanks guys!

You could just use the braze-ons as housing stops and install inline cable adjusters for derailleur cable tension.

I started that way but I only have a short curvy cable run to the handlebars the way I plan to route things and the in line adjusters do not seem to fit well in the middle of a tight curve (the straight length of the in line adjuster forces a very tight curve on either side of it to make the bend I need and I am worried about the tight bends).

Hey Hillrider I see you are from Pittsburgh. Have you ever ridden the Dirty Dozen hill ride here in the city?

Noodle /adjuster combinations are made for road v brake setup, so Maybe you can adopt one of those ..

Motorcycle throttles use adjuster noodles too, at the grip..

Never ridden the actual Dirty Dozen "organized" (the term is used loosly) ride/race but my son-in-law has several times and I've ridden a few of the hills they use.

there is something like that made but I forget who makes it. I have one on my cross bike turned IGH runabout.

Search for a mickey cable adjuster.

Use these. https://www.amazon.com/Jagwire-Carbon.../dp/B0029LMUFQ

Thanke guys! These are just what I was looking for. The Mickey adjusters are quite a bit less expensive. Does anyone have experience with them to know if they are suitable to use in a 9-speed drivetrain? I just want to be sure they do not add some variability to the cable system that affects shifting accuracy.

The JagWire ones that pmt posted look very nice but I was worried that the diameter of the adjuster barrel might be too big to sit right against the frame and be usable. The reason I am concerned is because I adapted parts from a bolt on Shimano adjuster to fit into the cable stop but then found that the adjuster would not turn because it was squeezed against the frame too tightly (and this was even after I ground down the plastic adjuster barrel to as narow as I dared without destroying it). The Mickey adjusters look thin enough to not have an interference issue with the down tube, but they do not look nearlty as well made as the JagWire adjusters.

Frame? They're nowhere near the frame. The go into the STIs.

PMT thanks. I was looking for something I can use in the down tube cable stop and thought at first that might work but no dice. Back to the Mickeys. I am doing this with bar end shifters.

I use a Mickey as a cable adjuster for my internal gear hub. It replaced a Jagwire inline adjuster. The inline adjuster failed hold adjustment. The Mickey unit has worked perfect. I did have to file down the two tabs to get it to fit, but once the tabs are filed down, the barrel has clearance. It's a nice chromed steel, and I'd guess it's every bit if not more durable than a plastic or carbon version. It doesn't have the detents like the Shimano version, but like I said, after a month, it hasn't gone out of adjustment. Like most threaded pieces, be sure to grease the threads.
