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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Not very timely. Notice that there are NO chain specifications anywhere. The chains shown in the pics look like low-grade China knock-offs.

Avoid this site; buy from a known quality manufacturer like DID, RK, Tsubaki etc.

I don't know about that. The president of the company is accredited with inventing the O ring chain as I read it. there are specifications and good descriptions of the products if you navigate through the site. I got the link from a British bike forum that I visit and so far have read positive testimonies. The highest quality non Oring chain applicable for my '72 Triumph TR-6 is only around $35. I will definately research further.

I'm not trying to get into a pissin contest here.
Just asked a question. As previously stated the chain manufacturer received positive feedback on another venerable forum and I was just askin.

I will try this chain. It will be on a non-Husky bike but I have been around long enough to make an educated decision for myself.

What the hell...if I can save 50-60% off of high wear items for any/all of my rides I will spend the xtra dough in riding gas and/or other desireable mods.

Just because it may not be mainstream doesn't mean it's not good. THINK HUSKY.....duh.

Its an interesting find.

I am wondering where Montec sources their chains. India? China?

These prices are not bad at all. I am very partial to DID but i too am always looking for an alternative.

I cant but think there must be LOTS of way to innovate chains. Ti chain to save weight? Ceramic? Polymer? How about solid film lubricants like Tungston disulphate or Moly? Howabout kevlar rollers with copper berilium plates? Just an idea.

Anyway--interesting site. Let us know how the chain works out. I migth try one. DID are getting very expensive, and they just might source their chain from the same factory. In Changdong?
 
I emailed them asking simply "What country are your Super "O" Ring chains manufactured?" Unfortunately, I did not get an answer.

I received:

Brett,

We are a chain manufacturer and even though we import some items, all of our chains are final assembled in the U.S.A.
