Thats very strange that your clutch is so hard to pull. I have the STM clutch slave and TPO stainless springs that actually add clutch force. My lever is smooth and I don't find it a hard pull at all, even with the Pazzo shorty levers. Perhaps your basket is worn and the clutch plates are hanging up on the rough edges of the basket?

Yes but are they heavier springs? I also thought they were all using slipper clutches now.
