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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Hi, Got a problem with 50mm marzocchi's only using half travel over some serious decents and speed,variations, nice first 1/3 stroke but she-ite after that, anyhow had an air gap of 135mm each leg for these results, also had trimmed 10mm of each preload spacer, but am not happy wid it, so tonite I have increased air gap to 180mm (the limit),wid same reduced preload spacers, oil is new and fine, feels slightly better but 'springy now', these forks need work to get them upto 2006 spec, why have they evolved backwards? they would be find for mx, but dodgy in a light framed 2-stroke as I have found out, maybe ok in the husky 4-strokes, if its open going no problems, but when in the technical stuff, its a ride on the seat of your pants (interesting but not advised), what i need is first 1/3 plush then next third very slightly less plush and last third just for jumps, a truly progressive setup, anyone know how to achieve this with the 50mm marzocchi 85kg rider, what is the standard spring weight in these from new?
 
I weigh 185lbs naked. I have my OC Marzocchi setup with .40kg fork springs and 5wt oil. They work great. I did have about 20% of the compression damping taken out also.
