Clutch Thimble question

Postby Covboy » Mon Jul 17, 2017 5:37 pm

Sorry all - quick question
Im replacing my standard LI S3 Clutch assembly with a CASA one - the CASA one didn't come with a thimble - I presume that this is still needed and I just should use the old one?

Thanks

Yes it has a nipple that the thimble fits on... I guess that's the clue... :oops: :oops:

Whilst the chaincasing is off take a look at the operating cam and check for signs of wear where it contacts with the nipple. If its worn, it will afflict your clutch leverage action. They're cheap enough to replace.
