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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

TE/TC Kreft revalve control for AER48 anyone?

I already saw the really good Ping report for the MX setup (same but different for the MX AER48s) . I always like Ping he has no filter and he has huge cred as former top tier pro. This set up sounds really good , 2k is a lot but not in the big scheme of top tier suspension. The only thing about Kreft and this has been with me for the years since all the internat raving about his stuff. I have not seen his stuff on any Pro in any series championship
 
I'll have to look the ping report up on thos setup. This setup sounds interesting. A always ride supermoto track days and then rocky mountain trails. Having something really adjustable would be nice. Locally, all I ever hear about is the local tuner that uses MXT stuff, the lucky inserts. Think it's time to really look into good setups because that can even help my sorry ass
 
I've always wondered how any air fork or shock can adjust to a rider that is outside of the average rider weight without changing to volume of the air chamber. It seems to me that if you have to add pressure to the chamber to achieve the correct rider SAG it would spike in pressure just like cranking too much preload into a conventional spring. Other than that the link makes everything sound pretty good for the average weight and height rider.
 
I read an article last week about ohlins selling direct to consumer now, and so I hopped on to take a look.
$1300 will get you their full insert to go in your tubes.
Not sure it is as adjustable, but certainly another good option.
 
I briefly looked into this revalve control and came away as not really needed IF your valving is correct in the first place. Then the cost was too far out there when compared to other options.

Ohlins inserts - I had these and for the same money Dal Soggio or KYB's are much better quality, initial hits are more plush and less expensive to maintain. I went with KYB's as I can service them in my garage without any special vac/filling system.
 
Yea I communicated with Jeff about his trip out west (Athena GET ECULMB race kit testing), but I didn't know that the Suspension package was from Kreft. Awaiting article.
 
Don't have the Kreft setup but have the mxtech mid and cap in my 300xc forks and freaking love them. Way better than my cone valves
 
Two days ago I serviced a set of AER48 forks on a 2017 Husky 250 four stroke and they are about as easy to service as any forks out there. These had 60 hours on them and both sides were leaking. I did notice that the oil was much cleaner after 60 hours then a spring fork would have been. I put SKF seals in them and it really improved them by reducing stiction. I know this really isn't answering the question you asked but it might help your decision knowing how easy they are to service.
