Title: Clutch mechanism
Post by: Popstar on November 01, 2021, 01:01:23 PM

I've discovered why the clutch isn't working on my project bike 1 the cable looks like it's been under artillery fire, 2 a small collar is missing where(see photo) the ball bearing sit's. I will have to see if Silvers have a pair. There is a rim on the outer edge which would be difficult to match.

The ball bearing goes in the hole, there is no collar

You are probably right but the collar dropped out when I started degreasing the mechanism.

Ok I will attempt to turn the large external adjuster screw later in appears to be seized up. Incidentally what diameter should the ball bearing be?
