Adjustment of the cable is done more by feel vs. tension. It should be adjusted to the point that the clutch starts to engage approx. 1 inch off of the floor and then adjust it from there for personal comfort.

Mine and my wife's both engage @ 1" off of the floor. No slack on the cable either....

isnt that t0o loose? i've read you want 1-2 inches of freeplay from the top before the pedal starts to stiffen/engage...
