    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Huh, Blue waterproof grease, Tractor supply. I'll try it. Who makes it?

Been using the red synthetic stuff, also tried White Lithium.

Not sure, Tom. I buy the tube that fits in my grease gun, so I can't really take it out to read the name brand. Good stuff, though. IIRC, bwringer uses a red grease in a can that has the same properties. Been a while, though, so I have slept since then.
 
Dismantled Helix today... No lube and missing ball 4 ball bearings, lovely!
 
cable failing due to binding.
Its odd to lose the balls they are sort of well caged.
Someone may have been in there and washed out all the lube and or dicked with the mechanism.
 
I think cable failing due to inept installation
Same can be said for ball bearings missing
Like my Daddy used to say... "the harder you look, the more you find"
 
Installed the Helix with the right number of ball bearings, lots of blue waterproof grease and a properly routed and lubed clutch cable today...
Huge improvement, feels like a normal clutch now.

Thanks for the correct advice.
 
I guess I need to get to work on mine too. My left forearm is getting a hell of a workout LOL.
