Well.. clutch action simply deteriorated, until it wouldn't nothing happened when pressing the pedal!!.. So the car will be out of action for for the next two weeks, as I Do not expect the new parts to arrive from Simon before I go away on exercise this Thursday... Damn.. now I have to take the bicycle to work!.. BuuUUUUHhhhUUUU! I feel so sorry for you. REALLY! Now that you have that new toy installed. So it still feels hard as it should? any noise from the clutch area/gearbox? if the bearing is crushed the fork can't act on the clutch spring. or the fork could be bent... or it could just be worn down so the fork can't reach long enough to declutch. There's no harm done buying spare cylinders as you'll probably need them eventually, but I think you should inspect the clutch itself. Has it become harder lately, by the way? I remember your clutch pedal was quite soft when I tried it back in october 06 when we met at Lennart's - at least compared to mine. I found it hard to beleive first time I was told, but when the clutch becomes harder, it's normally because it's worn. If you look at how the spring acts on the mechanism you can understand why. Why not take the gearbox out now that you can't use the car anyway?

not a pleasant experience in cross town traffic!!
Bahh! - a few years ago, I drove my Peugeot 106 1.1 from Belgium to Le Mans without a clutch ... (thats 7 Payage booths and Paris, if you're interested) :-) as if it wasn't enough of a challenge to drive 2x1400km in a 106 1.1 rollerskate - and I actually did that trip twice in that car. ok, I did manage to hit Paris at 5am on a Sunday, so there was hardly any traffic. But having said all this, I hope you get that clutch sorted real soon - using a bicycle in Denmark in January is about as unpleasant it gets. /Lennart
