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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Chain question

My 00 sm610e failed mot tonight for excessive wear. I said to the guy I could adjust the chain up and he said no adjusting it wouldn't do as he could almost uncover a tooth at the 3 o'clock position on the rear sprocket. Was he talking shit or would adjusting the chain not take up the slack there is plenty of room for adjustment. Also if this is the case where's best in the uk for a chain and sprockets?

Thanks
 
Not about taking up slack. About how the links fit in the teeth of the sprockets. Since the links/pins should seat well in the troughs of the sprockets and be close without binding to the teeth, pulling the chain straight back and exposing the teeth, as described, exposes a worn and no longer serviceable chain, and most important is to replace chain and both sprockets. Sure you could adjust and run but it's in self destruct mode and you may drop the chain or something else in short order.
 
Got sprockets and a chain. Silly question but which way should the raised face on the front sprocket sit? In or out? I stupidly never looked at the old one before I took it off.

Should. You should also be able to tell by looking at the plane of the sprocket in relation to the "tracks" on the top chain slider...placed on one way and it should appear "in-line" w/ the chain and if flipped around the other way it should be pretty obviously out of line w/ the chain tracks.
 
Thanks. I couldn't see much difference either way it sumtill looked in line with the rear sprocket. Going by what u say I have it on backwards :-( chain off again.
