Hi

Looking to upgrade clutch , any recomendations ?

Basket is old and worn , metal plates look rough , friction plates not too bad

I have new springs and Almac mechanisim fitted.

Keeps slipping , adjusted it as per instructions on this site , no luck !

Plan is to fit new basket and both sets of plates.

What is best options

Thanks

Check the threads are ok in your outer plate, the one your adjuster screws through, they tend to strip and clutch appears adjusted fine till you start riding

Hi You could have a look here http://www.cubsite.com/cubforum/index.php

It'll never be any good with crap plates and a notched basket. It would have been better to spend the money that the armac mod cost replacing the knackered bits. All the armac does is alter the leverage ratio to make it lighter, which doesnt stop it slipping.

The plates have got to be completely flat with good material. Minor notches in the basket can be dressed with a file. Its worth spending a few hours on it to make it as good as possible. You will be amazed by the diference.

A cheap way to get a light clutch is to move the pivot point on the handlebar lever. Drill a new hole between the existing pivot and the hole for the nipple if there is sufficient meat. It does weaken the lever which may fail in a crash situation, but I ran that for a couple of years with the springs wound down to compensate for dished plates I couldn't afford to replace when I put it together.
