  • Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

# of links ?

I thought I would go from the 40t stock to a 48t rear sprocket on our pair of 2013 TE310Rs, as suggested by many on this forum for better off road performance and handling. I am wondering what is the # of links I should use with this increase in teeth/diameter. I have 2 new chains that are 520 x 114 links for the new sprockets. Thanks in advance for the help.
 
Sure. The ability to crawl over things rather than having to go quicker than my or my wife's modest skill levels allow due to the bikes being geared too high. We are new to the off road arts, but is this not part of handling ?

Mr. Wiggin2, if you have any input on my question, please feel free to write about that, also.. Ya cheeky lad.

Thanks in advance to people with the beta I can use to set our bikes up with. Look forward to hearing from you..
 
The stock gearing sucks for low speed hill climbing or difficult terrain. Too much clutch work required. Cant wait to swap my rear for a 46 or 47T. Anyone know link # for that set up with stock front sprocket.

I would mount the wheel up with sprocket, wrap the chain on for a trial fit and then cut to fit...watch out that you cut so you end up with two narrow ends to plug the master link into and have adjustment room. Or you may find that 114 aint enough...a good Husky parts guy could probably tell you.
 
photo.JPG I count the number of pins OK?
My stock setup was 13/40 with a chain with 106 pins.
I am now running 13/50 with 112 pins as in the picture below. I tried going as long as possible to run the axle as far back as possible.
 
Buzybraza, revielle, Oregonsage,
Counting the # of pins seems to be a sound measure of chain length. I am thinking of combining reveille's + 3 pins to the stock length (106) = 109 pins, and Buzybraza's 112 pins for a 50t sprocket to arrive at 110 pins for the stock front 13t x new sprocket, 48t. Logical, or up in the night ? Thanks for your help, gentlemen.

In my cheeky little mind, Handling is how your bike reacts to rider input and earth's obstacles at speed. Did you get the chain squared away?
 
I switch between a 47 and a 50 tooth with the same chain. I think I used 114 links. Trial fit it first before cutting, that is what I did and it worked fine.
I use the OEM 106 ink chain if I want to use the 40 tooth (which is useless IMO)
 
Quick update: Ben, Buzybraza, revielle, Oregonsage,

I cut the chains, 114pins, (new, aftermarket) to 110 pins, and mounted the new 48t sprockets. Adjusted the first bike to "proper tension" (seems a bit tight ?) and about to adjust the second. I have yet to ride them. [Motion Pro makes a very nice chain tool, in my opinion] Thanks, guys.
 
One word : Epiphany.
The bikes went from long travel street bikes with the "wrong" tires to the trail machines I hoped we purchased. Wish I had switched the rear cog sooner.
Thanks again for the input and advice.
