wow glad u made it out of that one dude
Clutch cable snapped on me while riding???
Was minding my own business riding to work this morning when all of a sudden my clutch lever lost all tension and stopped functioning.
Luckily, I was able to make 2 right turns and keep the bike moving long enough to get to a side street with no traffic.
Hard to tell with no tools, but it looks like the clutch cable snapped. I power-shifted the rest of the way to the bike shop (~3-4 miles) and then hoofed it to the office (~1 mile away).
The bike shop isn't open yet, what should it set me back to fix?
(I want to have it done today so that I can ride it home)
