What's this mark for?
deltarider:
What's this mark in the rim around the clutch adjuster for? Does it indicate the clutch is worn when you can align the big slot in the adjuster with it?
Bryanj:
Its in the manual supplements in ashs dropbox, nothing to do with wear, adjuster has to be in within a certain position relevant to mark

Ha, thanks! I ask myself why I have never wondered before, in all these 43 years of ownership... :-[
Oddjob:
There's also a special tool for the large clutch adjuster slot. To save chewing it up.

I wonder what that looks like. I have a tool that I - quite frankly - don't know what it is for, but it serves me well. My adjuster is easy to adjust. This was not years ago. I remember I had to use a hammer to educate him. It was almost like the different alloys of both the adjuster and the sprocket cover had become 'welded'. If it's free, it won't hurt to - after turning it fully counterclockwise - to smear a bit of grease on the then exposed inner rim of the hole.
