anyone tried this trick? They normally use it in rallying to solve clutch slipping problems and help deglaze it.

CLutch is currently slipping on the car and I have tried the deglaze trick, in vain.

Just wanted to know about the can of coke trick until I get all the bits for the clutch upgrade.

:D
 
What can of coke trick?? I do hope it doesn't involve pouring it in somewhere!!

IIRC you can deglaze it by slipping it at high speed. Someone will have to detail the procedure though.

Use it on my trials bicycle to make the brakes more sticky!! Just poured it on then applied head/friction, making it sticky!!
