the push rod is not affected BUT it needs to be correct for the mechanical advantage of the set up

White lithium is supposed to hold up a bit better for outdoors (exposed to water) use vs. an enclosed/contained use like wheel bearings, U-joints etc.

reinstalled the cable still hard to pull.my neighbour called in and hes got bikes,felt my clutch and said how can you ride this.i basically said i cant.one guy said back each spring nut off 1 turn.5 stud hub and said stock shovels dont need a lot of spring tension.he hated the 5 stud and said you will never get them to run tru and 2 nuts will always be loose.he also said take the 2 nuts off and run it as a 3 stud hub.his clutch is a 1 finger pull.wow what id do for that. any input would be appreciated
