My friction wheel looks pretty shiny and my Neracar still surprises people with its hill climbing. Maybe check the cable fittings?

Slipping Friction Wheel

"andy.h...@gmail.com" <andy.h...@gmail.com>: Sep 13 12:22PM -0700 Having woken the bike from 18 months of inactivity due to Covid I have found the friction drive is slipping more than it did before.   I have cleaned the face of the flywheel with brake cleaner but wondered what I could do with the fiction wheel which is looking very smooth and quite shiny.   Could I some brake cleaner on a rag to remove contamination or could I use a bit of wet and dry to rough the surface a little.   Has anyone done any revitalising of their friction wheel?   Plan to ride along with the Pioneer Run on Sunday 3rd October - anyone else going along?

Hi Andy

I used brake cleaner on the flywheel face and 250grit paper on the surface of the friction wheel. But, what seemed to really make a difference, at least on my machine, was setting the clearance between the face and wheel.
