Quick Clutch Cable question

jungle tim · Post by **jungle tim** » Tue Jul 03, 2012 2:19 am

I think my clutch cable is made from elastic as it seems so damn stretchy.

I have had it tightened twice in 500 miles, is it gonna settle down? are the better cables than stock?

Yes it will settle down. Cable adjustments are part of the package.

We have no idea where you are so no idea how much clutch work your riding involves

One more thought regarding the OP's question.

If you are adjusting all the free play out of the cable it will keep stretching (till it breaks).
Be certain you have at least 2 mm free play at the lever with the handlebars turned full left and full right.

Good luck,
Rob

In San Francisco city, lots of hills, stop signs, hipsters etc.

Is the clutch something that needs tweaking alot, would a 3rd hand tool be worth the trouble?

I have had good success with needlenose vise grips.
