heds954 Posted September 28, 2011 Report Share Posted September 28, 2011 As per the title really. I've bought an STM slipper clutch off that eGhey and the listing stated 'new' but to my eyes it looks dirty (more than just a protective layer of oil) and some edges look suspiciously knocked (i.e. the plating doesn't quite reach edges of allen key holes etc). Am I being too cautious and "they all come like that" or have I been sold a pup. So, the question is - is there a common wear pattern that distinguishes a new slipper clutch from an old one? Many thanks Heds PS I'd take photos but I doubt that anything would show up! PPS if anyone can get decent prices for STM spares please get in touch, ta muchly!

YZ faybo Posted September 28, 2011 Report Share Posted September 28, 2011 Check were the ball bearings go up and down the ramps, any used ones would have rubbed through that in no time and made slight soft grooves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heds954 Posted September 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2011 Well the ramped bit is as good as new, which is a bonus. Thanks for that Anywhere else that'd indicate wear? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evilchicken0 Posted September 29, 2011 Report Share Posted September 29, 2011 Has it got the clutch basket with it ... I might have got the wrong name there ... the bit that the plates sit in, if it's used I'd have though there would be marks on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heds954 Posted September 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2011 It's in mint condition, however, the flat thin metal insert that sits inside it has scuffs on it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
