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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

I had to remove the rear wheel to repair a puncture. After I replaced, I applied the rear brake & the pedal over-stroked. After successive pumps, it got close to normal travel.

So we syringed out the reservoir and flushed through some new fluid & bled the circuit. We had some tube on the nipple so the opening was always submerged in fluid. My dad saw a couple of air bubbles and after awhile, we were satisfied it was bled. However, I still reckon it now has a longer pedal, not spongy though and braking feels normal.

When the wheel was removed, nothing was dislodged; I guess the piston would have retracted when I was trying to align the wheel/install the axle. Any suggestions? Cheers
 
"When the wheel was removed, nothing was dislodged; I guess the piston would have retracted when I was trying to align the wheel/install the axle."

I think that is exactly what happened. When changing a tire I will actually push back the pistons in the caliper with a screwdriver or similar for more room re-installing the tire. Just takes a couple of pumps to be back to normal
