Title: Odsy Clutch hub slack issues
Post by: metalbmxer on July 19, 2016, 07:53:01 AM
Anyone having mildly inconsistent slack on their clutch hub? It engages about when it should but I keep thinking that the Sunday version slack washer would be better since its solid. I know that my adjustable washer cracked around the threads on the replacement I was sent as well, which I think is causing the slack to back out on its own. Anyone else had this issue? Tried FB messaging odsy and currently awaiting their response.

read on a few different boards regarding the slack adjustment mechanism, and the grub screw loosening itself.

one option is to just take out the grub screw (so that the adjuster is at max slack) then use conventional spacers to lock in the slack amount, until you get warranty/ proper fix

Playing around with my Clutch, it does seem that from session to session the grub screw will loosen a bit. A pretty big issue for those who like to ride with minimal slack.  For the last several months, I've rode with full slack and now prefer riding that way, so it isn't much of an issue for me.

I wonder if covering the grub screw with blue loctit threadlocker would be a solution.
