    Air Clutch

    Trip and I were talking about air clutches and I wanted see who else has any opinions about them. I know very little and figured this would be the place to ask. Thanks in advance...

    good in certain applications with a guaranteed air supply. bad idea on a bike. air runs out.......no clutch

    Just remember, an opinion without 3.14 is just an onion!

      you mean "all" clutch.
      the air holds the lever in and lets you leave off the delay box or button.
      i like the feeling of "throwing" the clutch out myself.

        You still have a normally operating clutch when there is no air. The cable is still there & you have a normal clutch. The air clutch is designed to be used with a delay box so you can leave off a button & race from the top or bottom bulb of a Sportsman tree. They work but for ME are just another variable to give problems that I don't need. There are a lot of guys using them that swear by them & if I ever had to go racing on a Sportsman tree that's the way I would go as I don't like sliders. In Division 7 we run a Pro tree & that's my favorite so I get to stick to throwing the lever for now. Ray.

            get well as soon as possible.

            I'm definately not getting a ice bike this year for sure now.



            So sorry to hear, it helped me to drink a lot of water and take vitamins and calcium last time I knackered myself.

            there is plenty of time to get you "button racing" - even if we have to wrap your torso for most of 2012.

              And the bad thing is they don't wrap ribs or collar bones... I tried to stay in the hospital, but they said get out... I was liking the dilaudid pain killer. The hydrocodone makes me sick...
