    Cure for a maxed out clutch lever barrel adjuster?

    Hello all, wondering if there's a quick fix for a clutch lever adjustment barrel that's maxed out..? I've adjusted the clutch per the great instructions from a few threads. Function is good, but as the cable even slightly breaks in, I'm running out of ability to trim the slack out. Any ideas?!
