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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

have a 95 that still has the old style guide with the single wheel, its a 360 with the right side drive. at the swingarm it has the two tabs for mounting a real guide. the listings i see go back to 04 but they sure look like they would fit my setup, can anyone confirm? thanks!
 
The old wheel type is better for off road since it gives when it hits a rock or log. The mx block style is more popular but I have found the old style to be more effective at its job of keeping the chain on. The "real" guide should fit.
 
hmm, thanks for your opinion, thats definitely food for thought. i was just thinking newer style was maybe better, but i havent had any problems with what it has. many of the older swedes ran this "old" style too, and it worked. maybe newer isnt always better?
 
The New Style chain guide is crap/rubbish/waste of Time and money... you either go for an old School chain guide or a tm designworks guide.
 
a tm designworks or brp "block style" is what im asking about. as compared to the old single roller deal.

Not really any better than the old school one other than they can wear the chain faster especially the masterlink.

Am I right in understanding that you believe the old style single roller type guide is a better design? I can see they won't wear excessively due to a bigger rear sprocket being fitted.
They appear to only have a single mount point and therefore I assume can pivot but appear vulnerable to side impacts (if that's an actual issue). Are they spring loaded?
The more I think about it I don't think it would be too difficult to design a guide that uses both mounting points, making it more resistant to side impacts but has a roller instead of a rubbing block to reduce wear and possibly noise...any thoughts? I am quite prepared to accept criticism, constructive or otherwise.
 
I changed back to the old roller guide and i m very pleased- its good been single mounted only - it can flex quite a bit.
