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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

2006 Marzocchi Shiver spring replacement help...

Hi Guys,

I have new springs coming for my forks and need help on changing them. I have searched the web for manuals on these forks and I have found similar but not exact. From here: http://www.marzocchi.co.uk/techinfo.html, looking at the 50mm manual, my fork caps don't match.
Here's what I have so far:
  1. I should loosen the caps before removing the fork.
  2. Remove forks from bike.
  3. Loosen completely the top cap, slide the tube down the stanchion and pour out the oil
  4. loosen bottom nut around compression adjuster to release the cartridge. (I have a "e" clip here, do I remove it?)
  5. Now I can replace the spring
  6. reassembly is vague. It has two oil change procedures, one for the leg and one for the cartridge. The way it shows to do the oil goes through the two piece cap that I don't have.
Anyone got specific instructions for this version of these forks?

Interesting... My forks look like the 45mm Shivers on the link above. The 2006 bike is supposed to have 50mm Shivers. Another question: This manual says fork oil height is 90mm for cross and 100 for enduro. Less airgap (more oil) is stiffer, right?
 
I have the 45s on my '06. Grab the manual from that site or I can email you the manual if you PM me your address.
