Red: Slipping Clutch, Part IV

Installed the new "two nut" clutch cable.  Even with all that extra length it was still a tight fit.  Ended up having to remove one of the nuts just to get enough slack in.  But at least it's on.

10/8 UPDATE: Test ride on the new clutch/cable.  The very good news is that there's loads more power on tap.  So for sure I must have set up the old clutch badly to where it was always partially engaged and robbing stealing power to the wheels.  

Bad news is that twice on the ride, the clutch "stuck" and wouldn't pop free when I released the lever.  Not sure if it's an internal issue or if it's the cable.  Hope it's just the cable...
