So I have a 6 and the bite is dead low almost touching the floor, I was wondering is there a way to raise the bite point?


It's starting to annoy me!!!


And thoughts?

Is the clutch heavy?

Try a new cable is the cheapest and easiestThumbs up

But more than likely it will need a clutch, unless there is history saying its been changed?

From what I have gathered, it has been replaced a mear 5000 ago, usually if I clutch wears out it gets higher and higher? And no it's not heavy at all!

Sounds like the auto-adjuster in the cable has seized up. Yes

New cable, and your clutch will be like a dream. Thumbs up
