Cam, You ain't no girly, you are just expecting a clutch lever to behave
nicely and not behave like a GD crowbar. Some of the rest of these girlies
on the list will help you on account of I don't know nothin' about clutches
and transmissions, I only know that I don't want to get tendonitis just to
shift the damn thing! Bob

 Would prefer to keep the clutch stock. Any suggestions to smooth-out
what I have would be helpful. I knew I'd get the wisecracks. Just ask
Dave Wasburn, my clutch is a bitch.

At the risk of sounding like a girly-man, is there any way to lighten

the clutch handle? Mine is so damn stiff, it eventually hurts to
pull.
 
 
 My cable is relatively new. Would lubing it help? There is no
adjustment
 
 
 

ring on the handle as I have seen on many other bikes. Are all loops
like this? For the record, I have a pretty good grip.
