Sticky clutch...
« on: 29 October 2011, 02:58:00 pm »
Hi guys,
Quick question: my clutch lever appears to 'stick' when released, not seriously, it just won't release 'evenly' when let out slowly.
The cable is fine, I oiled it again with a light 3in1, and lever is all good, greased the collar and pivot etc.
Could it be something to do with the clutch itself? Maybe the pull lever or pull lever shaft?

Cheers, s

It's not often that you hear of problems with the actuating mechanism at the clutch end, Steve.

Have you released the cable at both ends and checked that you don't have a broken strand in the cable snagging things up?

If the cable is 100% free-running, logic says it has to be the actuating mechanism but I'd double check everything else first.  :)

Yup, released cable at both ends and it seemed ok - it might behave differently under tension tho so I'll fit a new one all the same and see if that helps. S
