clutches

[samurai]

hey guys which clutch is the best for a cag 2 shoe or 3 shoe i was thinking of getting a polini clutch but its not in my price range im looking for a good racing clutch willing to spend 60 or so

i bought an adjustable two shoe clutch and tore the pad off it the same day i put it on. it always engaged way too late for my bike and it felt like you had to pretty well drive it on full power to make it go anywhere even when adjusted.

i like the 3 shoe ones with 10 turn springs myself. you can still drive around at a fairly slow pace if you want that way. which is something i couldnt do with the two shoe clutch. upside is they are cheap as if you **ck it up :P

Save the hassle and get the 3 shoe clutch, 2 shoes are rated upto 70kg's, whereas the 3 shoes are rated for 70kgs and up.


Cheers

The chinese 2 shoes are absolute crap. I had the same drama as Glen and it would engage too late even after much adjusting and didn't even last a 5 lap race at south morang. 3 shoe with 10 turns are the way to go unless you spend big $ on a non chinese 2 shoe.

"2 shoes are rated upto 70kg's"

that would explain why mine tore apart anyway, had my 100kg mate riding it lol! still though get the 3 shoe. they go well. even the stock clutch with the 8 turn i think springs wasnt too bad.
