Hard clutch (lemmy.world)

The clutch on my bike has been feeling rather tight. I did some searches for mechanic tutorials and found one that suggested loosening a nut near the handle bars. That did work for a bit but seems to tighten up after a while.

Can someone help me with some keywords to help my search for tutorials and better diagnose issues?

The cables I know have self lubricating sleeves. If you lubricate these they often don’t last very long. But I don’t have experiences with the kind of lubricant you mentioned.

Since the cable is the most likely source I’d change the cable.
