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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Good place to get a lowering link for your Husky

When I got my 610 I did not worry too much about the astronomical seat height, because I knew the bike can be easily lowered by adding a link. So I went ahead and ordered one from Carl's Cycle (carlscycle.com) got the koubalink, and let it sit for over a month without installing it, as other obligations took priority.

Just this past weekend I finally get around to it, and realized that the previous owner had jacked the preload all the way up, and all I needed to do was crank it down to a reasonable level, and raise the fork tubes in the clamps, and the seat height is now fine for me. That means I no longer need the koubalink.

So I read the Carl's Cycle returns policy, which clearly says no returns after 30 days, and then there is a 20% restocking fee. I emailed them and apologized for placing the order in error, and asked if I may return the link for 80% of what I paid. Considering I waited so long, I would have been happy if they took the link back for the 80%. They replied that as long as I didn't ding the koubalink, I can return it for a full refund.

That rocks. I just had to put a good word in for them. :cheers:
 
Now that the attitude of a successful business who by word of mouth etc. gets to keep existing customers and attract new ones. Well done Carl's Cycles.
