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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Yesterday after a long ride on nasty, rocky, gnarly singletrack trails I had no problems. Well almost no problems I fell a couple times but no damage.
Of course I load up my bike on the trailer and leave to go home and I hit a bump. The bike came loose and landed on the side of the trailer. The rt radiator now has a nice dent in it and is squashed a bit on one side. There are no leaks that I can see but the stock loovers or plastic guards or whatever you call it are pushing out just far enough to brush the front fender when I turn the handle bars.
I know there are places to send out the radiator to fix the bend but I was hoping there may be a way for me to bend it back out enough for now without causing any more damage to the radiator and making it leak. Of course I will be investing in some guards now.(I know, a little to late) Any suggestions on how I can bend the radiator back would be greatly appreciated.
 
Send it to Mylers. I know you dont want to ship it off, but chances are you are gonna pop a leak if you bend it back ( if it doesn't have one already) they are magicians and inexpensive
 
From what I read Mylers is very good. I did bend the tabs a bit and made some careful adjustments. No leaks and I can steer without the fender touching now. After so some upcoming rides I think I will be sending the radiator out.
It just sucks the damage happened when I was on the way home and not on the trail.
