ALL my Tech 4's have adjusters

They are dated '85

sweetbeats · « **Reply #6 on:** May 19, 2011, 12:19 PM »

Non of mine have ajusters I have 7 sets most if not all are 84 stamped, one set might be early 85.

Some came with adjusters and some didn't, there's a DC catalogue page that shows they were both available.

All of mine are pre 85 too

I have never noticed tech 4s ever having ajusters.
Non of mine ever have.
Weird

Look quite cool with the ajusters

What's the month on em to compare dates with LHB?

Gnarlyscoots · « **Reply #9 on:** May 19, 2011, 12:45 PM »

They are both dated 07 85. The clasps are 07 85 too but the bridge on the "open" one is dated 08 85.

IMO I think they look better with adjusters

BITD all my levers had adjusters and I guess I just prefer them that way

sweetbeats · « **Reply #10 on:** May 19, 2011, 12:47 PM »

The silver is 0884 the blue is somthing 084 cant see the month its under the lever part.

Don't mind em with but think they look clean and tidy without.
Never used the ajuster function ever on a tech 3.

I have 9 sets (bagged) and found 1 set of blue to be 85 but no adjusters
All the others are 84

Early 85 on the blue or late?
