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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

I put on some new wavy discs two years or so ago, made in england somewhere, worked great all this time, then 50 mph just now the back wheel seems to lock a tiny bit then unlock then hits something as it turns. I stop quickly and this has happened. If it had locked the back wheel completely....210920142207.jpg210920142208.jpg210920142207.jpg210920142207.jpg210920142206.jpg
 
:censored: dats not good not even a little bit:cry: glad you kept it up on two wheels:applause: maybe you should wash it and give it a good eye ballin alot more often :thumbsup:
 
That would suck and even the pics are hard for me to look at ...

Only time I've managed to do anything close to that work was when that caliper was stuck on its pins and cut away at the disc ... All I got was a disc that was cut in 2 pieces ...

Looks like the hub is OK?
 
only thing I can think of is before I left I thought the back pads are low I'll change them after this ride, but even then they'd have clear metal showing through and they still have visible material showing, all be it now it's got a distinctive line where it ground against the disc. This is a confusing incident. Yeah everything else looks allright, wheel still turns fine just every rotation the disc hits the bit that holds the caliper up but only just so it is pushable :D tbh I'd rather have had the disc shatter and fall off than to jam my wheel
 
probably had a crack that was unnoticed and it came apart at once..ill admit, its not something i look for
 
Ouch, glad you didn't wreck.


I had the rear disk break on me also, but fortunately it just flung the pieces with no damage to the rest of the bike.

Volvo used steel made in mothwrwell's ravenscraig factory in the 80's, they were like tanks, not sure where they buy sheet steel from now but they're much thinner panels these days.
