  • 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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!

08 TE Sachs re-do.

So on every new bike, after 1 season I have the oil changed on the shock and the forks.(they break in kinda like a motor and leave shavings too) I sent out the shock for just a oil change, and I got it back "up graded" The guy removed the piston sys and replaced it with a bladder sys. Said thats what they do for the top off road racers. He told me that it wouldn't change larger stuff too much but much improved on chop.

Anybody know of or had experience with this change?
 
I converted mine also, but had a revalve done at the same time, so I couldn't tell you if the modification made much of a difference, since the valving changed a lot of things. the theory behind changing the "cookie" to a bladder is, that there is no drag or friction on a bladder to slow the shock absorber's reaction time to a bump down any, compared to a piston which has to drag on the reservoir walls as it moves up and down.
