XTR Derailleur on Road Bike

I've just got hold of a Shimano XTR rear derailleur for my Road Bike.
I'm a bit unhappy yhat the literature doesn't say ther is no adjusting
barrel on these models. Has anyone an idea of how best to provide
cable adjustment?

Either an inline barrel adjuster or one of the small ones with a
rubber end that you can stick into the place the RD housing goes.

If you're trying to get it to index my remembrance is that Shimano
road and mountain derailleurs have different cable pulls.

The front derailleurs do, but rears are interchangable.

Fronts do but rears with the exception of 8s DA, do not.

Unless it's a CX bike youre comitting a style error
