Those adjusters are pretty bad. That video is horrible, the guy has absolutely zero mechanical skill and really has almost no idea what he's doing. That said, replacing the barrel adjuster is a good idea.
And of course this thread should be posted in 'bicycle mechanics'.

I posted this in the Mechanics section but left it here as well because I wanted to preserve our responses .

You've been here since 2005 and you don't yet know that double posting is frowned upon.
