Default Re: Clutch advice

hydraulic clutches are a little easier but not by much as they still use the same worm gear. to make a hydraulic clutch easier it needs to be servo assisted like a car.

if you know a very good alloy welder (or use mechanically tapped and threaded bar) you could get the lever made longer and move the perch further down the bar. this will give longer lever ratio so easier to pull.

the routing and type of clutch cable make a huge difference, the less the inner is rubbing on the outer the less friction is needed, a straight cable (without the bent ferrule) routed properly should be easier to pull.

do some research on disabled trike mods, they might have an answer.
