Think big.....start small

[Rookie_V#60]

 The clutch handle of my long stroke A7 got stiffer and stiffer. As everybody told me the old version of a well working 6 spring clutch should be easy and comfortable to operate, I was prepared to start a big overhaul / replacement soon.

 I started with step 1 changed the cable ….. and got a new smooth operating clutch !

 Never thought it –  as the old cable looked so fine and was always plenty oiled !

 Happy Rudolf

Hi Rudoph,

If you have a cable with a teflonliner in it and you will greace with WD 40 or other oil the liner will swell up  and so the operation get harder.

Hi Klaus,

no teflonliner inside, but an too old original style cable with this knurled screws on the lower end and handmade soldered nipples. Looks nice, not bended or broken but too much friction inside.

Cheers

Rudolf
