Let’s talk clutch cables

[mhbikesnbits]

Just curious what people think of the after market clutch cables for the dt, have you used any ? If so what do you recommend

@mhbikesnbits Only use genuine lol

I had no end of problems with aftermarket ones.

Apparently SlinkyGlide are supposed to be good quality though.

Same as calum genuine if possible I've had my dt many years and still don't have a proper clutch cable the cheap ebay ones didn't even remotely fit my bikes still using a clutch cable from a 50cc motorbike it works okay with a spacer I will get round to getting one eventually

@Calum it’s just getting hold of a genuine one , a nos one like may look into the ones you’ve just tagged tho cheers

[mhbikesnbits]

@declan ahh cheers for the heads up will stay away from the eBay ones then

@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...

@SpookDog ah great thanks for the opinion Might give one ago for a tenner

@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.
