new departure model c slipping

[sloar]

i took the hub apart to add a few spokes. i greased the bearings put it back and now its slipping. it takes 4-5 pedal rotations either way to engage.....any ideals what i did wrong?

The Model C and Model D have the same internals. You can use this rebuild thread to help viewtopic.php?f=3&t=30484

I would suggest you check the cone nuts to make sure they are properly adjusted.

well, i fixed it but i'm not sure if its right. it looked like the clutch spring shouldve had a little bent piece sticking out. and the clutch sleeve has a slit that the spring fit in. well mine is broke so i bent a little piece and slid the clutch sleeve down on it. it works now. is that the way its suppose to be?

Yes, there is a tab on the spring that fits in the slot. I can send you a new spring but not until Monday when I get home again.

No charge for the transfer spring - glad to help. I can answer your question about the discs when I get home again and have access to my books.
