So my 17 te250 has 85 hours and suspension need a rebuild it getting harsh. I was wondering if anybody has tried Kreft revalve control forks. I ride and race my Te in super slow rocky rooty tight single track to supers soft fast sand. I also do some mx racing with it. This revalve system looks like it should be what I am looking for but it very expense $1200.oo. So just wondering if anybody has tried it yet. Thanks for any input.

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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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!

Kreft(ing) is on the low volume of work exclusive/ expensive side, but by a close associate A rider account worth every penny.
The A rider friend rides a Beta 300RR and is a former high speed Baja racer as well as an AMA A class enduro racer that pretty much* sticks to single track low speed sharp rock single track stuff now and is super stoked with how plush but stable his Kreft setup is. One man's opinion.
* but has stuck his big tank on and done multi day Baja rides with all his 4 stroke mostly Honda CRF450 buddies.

That what I am looking for a do it all suspension. But that not possible usually and there has to be a compromise somewhere. Your A rider friend does he have the revalve control forks. Also I am not a A rider and what they like is very different than what I like but it sounds like he uses the same suspension on very different type of riding.
I have heard good things about Kreft but never used them personally. That said I just had Richard from House of Horsepower do my 2018 TE250i forks and he freaking nailed it! They are a million times better than the stock 2017 TE250 forks I rode last year. The way they suck up rocks and roots is nothing short of amazing. It is also controlled at speed so kind of the best of both worlds like you are asking which is hard to do. This was an amazing build with gobs of aftermarket parts and upgrades but have to say the suspension takes the cake on this build. I've ridden a ton of bikes and had many revavles done, this one is the best. BTW Richard is a freaking scientist when evaluating suspension performance and fixes. He is far from a "valve restaker" and understands all the functions of almost any suspension and does what is needed to make it work right. Usually no fancy tricks just the right rework. Richard worked at Cannon Racecraft which builds high end springs for everyone. He developed these progressive fork springs to his specification after years of testing and I think thats part of the picture and something you cant get just anywhere. His attention to service, customer support and end results are top notch across the board. Highly recommended.
Here is the thread on my TE build and info if you have not seen it.
