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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Look at This!

Livin' It Up!
Just received my new rear wheel from Woodys with Cush hub and super lacing. Had them upgrade the bearings too. Now to get the TE630 back from Zip Ty where they have been breathing on it. I think that a new front wheel is in the offing too so I can have two sets with different tires.

Woody's does some nice work. I had them repair a dented from aluminum rim on my K75s. With the current rate of depreciation that rims worth about as much as the bike. :eek:

Ouch! but it sure does look nice. Not bling though, very functional and the strength versus stock wheel greatly increased and much reduced banging on your transmission = longer life.

My only concern would be long term availability of the cush rubbers. If Rad goes out of business then you're SOL. Maybe buy a lifetime supply now as they are priced reasonable at $30 a set.

David, you got it right. I also upgraded the bearings which is an extra $100 and worth it. Standard bearings are All Balls but the upgrades are imported from Europe I think. German? I forget what Woodys told me but I figured in for a penny, in for a pound. Picking up some spare cush rubbers is not a bad idea but I don't think there is a problem with future availability.
 
I would guess if Woodys is selling them and Rad goes under they would find something to work for there customers.

Yep mine just arrived as well. Similar deal to yourself, superlaced, oversized spokes and upgraded bearings:

Actually I don't know, you'd have to ask Woody's. You can see though that they have machined out some of the wall of the spoke eyelets in the rim in order to make it all happen...
