Not good, but once you've worked out what setting you want them set to, they could be epoxy'd into place.
It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.

You do not have to say anything. But it may harm your defence if you do not mention when posting something which you later rely on in quote. Anything you do say may be ripped to sh*t.

I didn't take a chance on these cheapo's either, although I must admit I was very slightly tempted. It was not that I expected the adjuster to fail as in the video 8O I was more concerned about the quality of the alloy used in the lever, and the process in which they were manufactured. I didn't fancy having a front brake lever snap in an emergency stop situation, that was my main concern.
