Hi all,
I bought a new clutch cable about 6 months ago. Clearly the cable has been stretching over time and has settled down now, but as my clutch adjuster is at near maximum, and that the centre adjuster is as far as it will safely go whilst still being connected, I have nowhere else to go if it does stretch a bit more or I want to re-tweak the free play at the lever end.
If I could find a clutch adjuster wheel that has a longer threaded shaft, then that would work. Or maybe there is some way of adding an extra nipple at the clutch end down by the guts of the bike. I don't know if either of these things exist or are even possible to obtain. Can anyone advise? I've done a spot of searching on the tinterweb and such, but to no avail. There has to be a cheap solution to this.
I'm quite certain that the clutch cable isn't frayed either, so that's not it. The new cable was always a little longer than the stock OEM.
All advice greatly appreciated. :thumbup:
Thanks.
CORRECTION: The OEM cable frayed after 18 months, and the replacement is now 18 months old too.
