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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Just got done removing half a tube of grease from the headset. Wow, that was a lot of grease. With that much grease one would think the bearings would be in great shape. Not really.

And most of the time all you hear about is not enough grease...........
 
Only so much grease will fit in the bearings. The rest just sits in between the top and bottom bearings. I pack it full when I want more weight on the front tire.:lol:
 
If you install a grease nipple on the side of the steering head tube and keep it full of grease, you can have your own adjustable steering damper based on the amount you pump in there!:lol:.
 
IMO it's like a front wheel hub on a vehicle. Dad always taught me that filling the hub with grease only retains heat and wastes a bunch of grease. Also more grease attracts more dirt, plus it takes you longer to service the hub, or steering head, when all that extra stuff is in there.
