Default Re: Rapid clutch wear

As someone who's done the London commute thing for a number of years, it won't cause the clutch to go out of adjustment every few weeks. It will, however, increase wear to the lifter mechanism. I'm on the original clutch plates at 60,000 or so miles. But the lifter had been replaced once already and I think it's due again.

The cable itself can't slip add it's held firm at both ends, but the 2 slack adjusters can move if not tightened up properly, and any wear in the lifter makes finding an adjustment without any drag much harder
