  • 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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 recently had a fork stanchion tube replaced by Zip Ty racing. I haven't ridden the bike yet because of winter. But as far as I can tell Zip Ty did a 1st class repair job on the 50 mm Marzocchi fork. He was fast and did it for about $100-150 less than doing it the way Husky wanted me to do it. That is, buying the part from them and waiting a month or two for it to come in.
 
did they use a used or aftermarket part, just curious as to how you sourced the part, im guessing you were leaking oil from hitting a rock?

I did dent it on a rock. They took a stanchion tube from a closed chamber fork and exchanged the claws. Job looks good.
