Amazing thread and lovely bike. It's projects like this one that make this forum great.
What's the x5 modification for? Is it adjusting cable pull to make the 10 speed shifters compatible with the 9 speed mech? I though the mech would work fine as it was with 10 speed shifters. If it is to sort cable pull how did you know the size to make the brass fitting?
Cable adjustment.
Road group has adjustment at the deraileur.
Mtb group at the lever.
He could have used an inline cable adjuster, but chose to tap the deraileur and fit a barrel adjuster in it.
