Ok I have been to about 5 different bike shops here in Japan. Lookin and trying to find clutch cable lube. But no one has any for sale. Do you guys know of anyone that has some they can ship usps priority mail over here to Japan? The biggest problem is the aerosal can. Know if there is that isnt pressurized? I doubt its made like that but I figured I would ask anyways. Thanks | ||

Com'on Jarhead! break out the CLP and be done with it!  OR........ Squeeze the juice off of a ham & choke loaf into a small spray bottle and use that.... | ||

Not sure what CLP is. I use Hoppe's gun oil. Just slowly drip it in the top of the clutch cable, between the cable and the outer casing, one drop at a time, while moving the cable in and out. Takes about five minutes. | ||

Jon, CLP stands for Clean-Lubricate-Preserve (I think anyways) . The brand when I was in (back in the early 80s was Breakfree. Your pack stunk for a week if you forgot to close that one tightly! (Message edited by mbsween on April 09, 2008) | ||

Breakfree CLP is still available at gun shops, and even Wallyworld. It's good stuff. Lubricates well and is pretty inert. | ||

Someone posted here a year or so ago about a cool easy method. Get a Zip lock sandwich bag and a small hose clamp. poke the clutch cable through one of the bottom corners and clamp the bag to the cable housing. Put in your favorite lube, zip the bag, and gently squeeze the lube down the cable while moving the cable around. I found it is best to do this when changing the primary oil. I roll up a length of paper towel and slide it under where the cable enters the housing to catch any unwanted gunk that might flow down the tube. | ||

Phil Woods Tenacious Oil is great for that purpose and can be bought at a bicycle shop or order it directly from: http://www.philwood.com/Phil%20%20Tenacious%20Oil. htm |
