I just fitted a Slinky Glide clutch cable from Wemoto, and it feels very light and smooth. Plus I sprayed a load of grease into the clutch cable housing too while it was off, which no doubt helped things a bit as well.
Just an update on the Slinky Glide clutch cable, it lasted 7 months.
For the last month or so I had to keep adjusting it, then after a couple of times of adjusting it from the bottom end as well I realised that it had had enough when the top adjuster had no more to give.
Bear in mind these cables cost under a tenner, and an OEM one cost me £55, which I fitted this morning, but even still I would've expected it to last a bit longer than that.
It started off feeling a bit stiffer than it should be so I oiled the cable, which did help, but it was all far too soon, I shouldn't have needed to do that after only a few months.
