New Clutch Cable Woes

[Davez29]

Hi, today I thought I would do the simple task of changing my clutch cable due to noticing it starting to fray with several cut strands. As usual I had a new spare ready. Or so I thought. what followed was nearly three hours of trying to fit a cable that was obviously wrong, but hey it was marked nc29 (aftermarket). From the outset i could see there were differences but i tried rverything in vain

The main problem was the fitting to the bracket instead of a threaded stud flattened on one side with two nuts it was threaded fully round with a single nut and long nut adjuster. this long adjuster gave me no play on the cable. I even opened the bracket and fitted the adjuster into this to no avail. still no adjustment or slack.

Im now going to have to scour the area for a matching part as I need the bike for Friday night.. aaaaahhhhhh!!!!!!!!!

Has anyone fitted this type sucessfully??

Here is a link to the actual type.. note the end that goes to the clutch.. this is not the same as oem. http://item.mobileweb.ebay.co.uk/viewit ... 4438126427

Just to finish this unanswered query. I went to Newcastle bike shops and all they had in stock were cables similar to what I cant get working and are adament they should work as they have had no returns. my opinion is that they are wrong but im not the expert I suppose. Anyhow they did point me in the direction of a shop that makes cables up and not being able to wait to buy oem was ideal. funnily enough just managed to buy one off ebay with the correct fittings, a useful spare.
