Hello everyone,
So yesterday I had a bit of an embarrassing episode. I figured I would brave the new ice on the roads on my bike to get to class however I ended up going down at aprox 6mph on a icy patch. Mostly just lost pride, however in the process my clutch handle broke off so I had to get it home in my friends truck. Once I got it home and started looking at it I realized the cable was super tight, to the point I could not disengage the clutch to shift. After some messing with it, looking for kinks and pulling it seemed to be working again. However when i pull the cable out it does not seem to snap back into place when I release it, it seems sticky. I am able to shift, where I couldn't before, but at the same time is doesn't seem to matter if the clutch is engaged or not. Furthermore when I go to shift into first with the clutch pulled out the bike jumps and stalls out. Any thoughts? If i had to guess it seems to be stuck partway, if thats a thing. also I fell on the left side of my bike.
Best,
