Help me I’m going nuts.
I put a new clutch cable in this morning, old one in 10 years so I thought why not. God I wish I hadn’t.
I checked the lengths of both the inner and outer against the original and they were the same so I popped it on.
There the fun ended, no matter what I do I just can’t set the damn clutch properly.
The closest I have come is free play correct but the clutch bite is only about half an inch from the bar, so that is with the lever nearly fully pulled in. Obviously this is not the best, I would like it much nearer the other end.
I just can’t do it. I have I think tried every permutation of adjustment of the in-cable barrel adjuster and the one at the lever end.
Can anyone help please, is there some sort of idiots starting point by that I mean what adjustment on each adjuster if that makes any sense.
With both adjusters slack there is free play at the actuator end, is this correct or should the actuator just be pulled up snug by the bottom end of the cable or should it be pulled in more, perhaps it is this end I am getting wrong.
It just seems that there is no way I can do it.
