Clutch cable bottom end.

[Brendan W]

So I'm miles from home and the clutch cable pulls clean out of the bottom end fitting. Luckily I was on a slope so away we go. Cable looks new and it's a clean pull out, no broken strands or corrosion. What's the chances of successfully redoing it, properly this time? I know some trawlermen

Should work, but I'd still opt for new cable and keep reworked one as spare -cheap insurance! I carry old one in case mine goes in traffic and no slope.

I'd just get a new clutch cable. Not worth getting stranded.

For the record, a healthy 1000G with a warm engine will start in 1st gear going up a slight grade. I don't remember whether I pushed with my feet to help it. The smaller bikes could probably do the same.

You know how you expect the hole on a crimped end fitting to be a little bit asymmetric - well it isn't. I'm going to do this right and the new cable is going to be relegated to backup.
First for me , every other clutch cable has died from old age at the top end. Feeling this one was a dud and a replacement from the Kan Do Pull Trading Co could be as bad.

Didn't try , there was an option to fall away and the bike took it
Easy on the 'smaller' stuff - bike has feelings too.
