Well folks, I adjusted the Tenere’s clutch cable yesterday as it had about 15 mm of free play in the clutch lever. I was damn sure that I got it to be about spot on with very little free play (about 3-5 mm) left but after maybe 10 gear changes, the unthinkable happened and the the clutch cable sheared from the cable end at the handle bar side. To say that I was not happy :angry: would be an understatement as I would have had to resort to sitting at home watching TV or doing gardening :pinch: It was then early this morning that I looked at my mountain bike and thought stuff that, let me take my spare bicycle brake cable and feed it into the original clutch cable sheath. I then used the I have nothing else, let me try the cable tie method on the gearbox side and hey presto, it worked as normal and I just returned from a test ride out to Wiseman’s Ferry :cheer:
Tomorrow I will order two new original clutch cables to replace my temporary fix at least now I know that if you are really stuck, you can get by with a $5 bicycle brake cable emergency fix!
