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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Best replacement seals for factory Marz?

plus 1 on blakelpd5's method on shortening the spring. But make sure it sits flat against the arc of the housing for even pressure distribution. Dirt will find the weakest path.
Also "all ballz” seals lasted just as well as Marz seals.
 
the forks turned out to be pitted so my local shop sent the lowers off for a toichup and rechroming before fitting the new seals. I also shortened the spring as suggested above ;)

I've been told by a couple shops you couldn't "fix" the stanchions. Maybe I was mis-informed. If you don't mind, I'm curious what the charge for this is?

I had a new set of Nitrited Stanchions shipped to my door for around $300 if I remember correctly.
 
300 bucks! crikey I should have done that instead. I will find out next week what the damage is and update you.
Apparently they remove the existing chrome, fix the chips and re-chrome them. What they turn out like.

This is the same guy I bought mine from. He used to be a tech for Marzocchi, and I'm not sure how he got all these stanchions, but they are working great for me so far..
