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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

BRP chain guide ???

Wear the chain more? Like on sides of the links or just regular pin/link wear?

Not the sides but the outside/top/bottom or however you'd look at it, the part that rubs on the bottom of the guide.

Would this wear much faster if you put on a larger rear sprocket? I am guessing that the chain guides are designed with stock gearing in mind.
Just a thought. :) Ken

Very likely, I'm running a 50 rear.
 
Hi Ioneater,

I thought I'd let you know that the BRP UHMW-PE ( Ultra High Molecular Weight Poly Ethylene) Chain guide has been designed to withstand huge hits and to absorb an impact without transferring the jolt to the mounting tabs and thus bending them. We have had great success with them and offer a one year wear warranty. This also means that if you break it within the first year we will replace it.

Let me know if you have any questions or comments,

Ordered one a couple days ago actually. Looking forward to seeing how it goes :thumbsup:

Hey BRP, good to have you here!

As you can see earlier in the thread I bought one and love it. No more chain slap and also less chance of derailing the chain in the woods. Very happy with it.
 
I just got a BRP chain guide and I am very impressed, fits well and is very clear of the sprocket and chain. Took a while to arrive in the UK but it is an excellent replacement and it has 1 year warrenty! Over here there is plenty of rut and roots to damage standard alloy guards and this BRP thing is far superior.
 
I too just put one on and it seems like real quality. First serious ride and it has a little gouge on the lower corner, but strictly cosmetic...I took a razor blade and cut the piece off...good as new. The thing I noticed immediately over my stocker was how much easier the bike pushed in the garage, which I assume is directly related to less drag - and my stocker wasn't bent out of shape or anything!
 
I need to grind out the inside diameter a little bit to give my chain a little room to keep from getting chewed on...especially the master link clip.
 
I seem to recall that some of the racers use the TE stocker as it is light and will bend back. I have thought about an after market unit but just keep re bending mine-will probably stay that way as its cheap, lite and repairable.
