      @mhbikesnbits Only use genuine lol

      I had no end of problems with aftermarket ones.

      Apparently SlinkyGlide are supposed to be good quality though.

              @mhbikesnbits

              I’m using a Slinky and it’s actually not bad. It is very unrestrictive and easy to channel. It’s super flexible...

              In my very limited experience I would recommend it...

                  @mhbikesnbits I am using a genuine one,old NOS if I recall correctly.I have made a modified backup from an XT600 (early model that has the clutch arm on the same side as the DT) was used but in excellent condition.

                  I need my tools and a pile of junk.....
