Title: New Tatulas
Post by: MudShark7 on January 03, 2015, 12:46:30 AM
I've got a couple of new Tatulas that I used since mid-Summer in addition to all my Shimanos. The clutch bar on the Tatulas are getting harder to push down and I'm wondering if anyone has experienced this and if they fixed it.
I'm also wondering if this is because the thumb bar also deploys the T-Wing mechanism.
Anyone with any insight?

Have you cleaned and lubed the thumb bar mechanism? I've had that area get gummed up on my Lexa's.

Thanks for your reply. No, not yet. I guess I would be surprised if that is all it needed since I haven't really used them that much. I suppose they could have left the factory under-lubed.

It must be a lube/cleaning problem.  As I have some and not experienced any issue. Let us know what you find!
