dann2707 Posted February 27, 2015 Report Share Posted February 27, 2015 How are you finding the Jitsie clamps? They look like a great design without having the recessed bit that just gets mangled after a few tighten ups. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peggysue Posted February 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2015 Jitsie clamps are strangely the best I've used. However they are actually too good they cause a different issue. Most washer less clamps are to soft and bend on me, the try all clamps with the raised part that slots in the slave groves were good but limited in / out adjustment. Now these clamps are so well made and stiff that if you over tighten them they actually put enough force on the slaves that that cause the pistons to stick and not let the pads return. I thought my slaves, the original maguras were knackered so bought racelines yesterday thinking cnc'd aluminium would be stiffer and not crush in causing the piston to stick but they do the same if over tightened. Just a bit less torque and they are perfect. Great clamps and super stiff. Don't think I'll ever need to try anything else. Hope that helps 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
