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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

18'' Replacement Rim Question

Rim in question is off the 2012 TXC250. The boy has managed to completely annihilate the rear rim.

The search for a replacement keeps ending up at a OEM Husky rim; rather pricey.

I do have a good contact at Excel but he has no listing for a replacement. At first he was pretty sure the FES433 would be the one; 2.15 x 18'' 36 hole European drill, no go. I sent them the following pic of the stock rim and now they are thinking FES422 should work. Their comments were that starting in 2011 Husky started using a different drill pattern and it's the same as used by KTM. This is now considered a Japanese drill pattern...still 2.15 x 18'', 36 hole.

Can anybody shed some light on whether I'm stuck going OEM or if any of the aftermarket ones will work? I do believe the stocker is considered much stronger than a replacement may be, but worth twice the price?

Thanks,
