lockjack sport clutches...wearing out!

[arbogrunt]

yet another clutch slipping today, that the third in a year. I'm on 11/12mm on Yale xtc or Yale scorch. Getting fed up replacing them at £18 a throw..anyone else suffering this?

[Adam Bourne]

yep all the time!!!

 

pain the the bum but needs must and my marlow aries is worst on wearing them out for some reason they last just that little bit longer on my tachyon

this is something i had trouble with but then thought about how much hitch chord i used to go through - Lock Jack clutch works out cheeper every time

Also, going slower on your decsents helps

I have had the same clutch for three years.

 

I don't work in the rain which could be a major factor. A dirty gritty rope will rip a clutch to bits in no time.

 

Also if I do a long decent I take some of the load off the clutch by holding the tail of the rope

ah well, I'm back on a hitchclimber and knut for a bit, might just use my lockjack for the up and down sort of jobs!

are you sure its not your friction plate that needs changing to mate this does wear out and can be replaced also which makes loads of difference, it could be the case that your cam may not be getting as worn out as you may think....just a thought:thumbup:
