Time for a new clutch....

[pigmy]

My experience w/ Barnett's wasn't the best. For some reason I can't use the full stack height they suggest. I dunno if the previous owner swapped out the push rod or what but it won't disengage for me. I remember a customer of Chris at CA-cycleworks had some serious problems a stack of Barnetts as well but Chris got them to replace the faulty stack.

I can't remember how much my stock basket and plates cost so I've got no real useful input. The best I can guess was $150 for plates and $200-300 for the basket.

i had to discard the two connical shaped spring rotors they supplied.clutch now works.ie disengages properly.

I used a Yoyodyne from Fred and it worked very well. It was cheaper than the others at under $1000 and is a little over 2 lbs. lighter with the Barnett red plates - I think remember it that way.

The slipper is real nice if you're backing it into corners real hard.

The only time I didn't like it was when I killed my battery and needed to bump start it. You can forget that.

i just picked up a nichols basket and barnett red plates from chris at ca-cycleworks and its great.  my old clutch had probably 3mm of gap and was crazy loud, it still grabbed well but the noise was too much.  now its near silent, i can finally hear my staintune exhaust when in neutral.
