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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Broken lower chain roller mount

Lower chain roller mount broke and of course the roller is gone. Two things:

1. How bad is it to ride it with no bottom roller. Was leaving in two days for a trip on the bike. All street with no offroading.

2. Can someone take a pic of the mount with the roller intact for me. Never really looked at it so I'm not sure how to going about welding something back on that would work.

Not the chain guide near the rear sprocket but the lower roller near the counter sprocket.

These pics are a little fuzzy due to low light but I think you can see what is going on here ... These are from my 010 TC250 so yours might be slightly different ..

The chain seems to rest on the roller some at rest and not sure what happens with this roller under load but I'd try to rig up something before riding hard as a chain de-railing at high speed can have bad effects ..

Shoot. The part it threads into is totally gone. Only the arms of the bracket remain. Will have to get something welded on there. Thanks for the help guys.
 
Is the upper roller more or less the same size. Don't have time to get another so may have to rig the upper roller to the lower as the lower seems to a bit more important. My upper roller doesn't look like it's been touched.
