Hi,
i am about to buy a new clutch for a ts1 i've narrowed my choice down to either a surflex race or the lth 7plate, about the same money , one thing though i have seen some posts regarding the surflex clutches where a few people have said "once you get used to the action" this suggests that the surflex is a very on/off kind of snatchy action in operation, would i be right in that thinking? thanks Lammer205.
Surflex race question.

I'm using one and it was stiff to pull in at 1st. I then fitted a new MB nylon lined clutch cable and it's now a '2 finger' clutch. As for the action being tricky I've not really noticed it being any different to any other clutch I've used. I will say this about them though. It's one of the few things I've brought for my Lammy that actually fits and works as it should do.

That's what I'd say about my LTH clutch.10 inch Terror wrote: It's one of the few things I've brought for my Lammy that actually fits and works as it should do.
I've fitted one of the Indian AF clutches [not used it yet though] but it needed "fettling" to get the cassette to slot in and out easily, a problem you won't have with the Surflex version.

Both are great clutches, The Surflex is a little 'on/off' but only takes a few minutes to get used to the feel so really not an issue. Surflex spares more readily available in Uk?

I have had the AF road clutch in my TS1 for 18 months. It is quite simply the best clutch I have ever had in my Lammy, for feel and comfort of use. I haven't used any of the other top notch clutches on the market,so cannot say how they are in comparison. What I will say though is, my next engine build, which should be a big block GT200, will be having the same clutch.cheers,Speedy.
