Differences between sprung and solid clutches
« on: September 14, 2011 - 02:58:38 PM »
Just asking why some clutch discs are solid? Are they more for racing?
What do the springs actually do?
Thanks.

the springs in the hub of the disc absorb the shock / bite when the clutch is released , very few are solid hub
