Title: clutch cable adjustment
Post by: omegod on 08 May 2014, 21:21:19

Cousins shitbox cable clutch is apparently biting high, maybe shagged but will try to adjust the cable as a stopgap. To save arsing round would you tighten( shorten) the cable to lower the bite or loosen it?

It's dark and cold out there :'(
