clutch push rod Jota 180

[jotajoe]

Just wondering why the clutch push rod is in two sections on the triples I have seen drawings/ parts lists  of ? 

Why not a single piece, I guess there is a good reason for this.

It's to separate the different rotation speeds of clutch and sprocket. The ball between the two rods acts as a bearing

If there was only one rod it would be too short

But only at one end!

now it looks like I need a pair of balls to match my two piece rod
