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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

No huck valves? Nice post. I actually called Jeremy from mxtech the other day to give him kudos on my suspension. I asked him some specific questions regarding differences between his setup and Kreft. He told me that Kreft only has 2 compression settings vs 3 with his and he also said they use the same mid valves. I thought they used different mid valves and identical base valves but turns out the difference is the base valve setups not the mid valves. I learn a bit more everyday.;)

i cant really stretch to huck valves at the moment , however reading what terry hay over on ktm talk says about how a good set up will rarely bottom , ill leave them for now .
my main complaint is the harshness .

The anti bottoming valves that WP installs stock are very feeble and like to hydro-lock. That's the reason most swap them out.

I disagree with you there, the bottoming valves are only used in the last 60mm of fork travel. Harshness can be felt right through the stroke.
I thought long and hard for paying extra to get huck valves for my setup and Terry is right, keep out of the bottom section for majority of your riding then the huck valves may as well not be there as they won't be getting used. The new 4CS forks don't even have bottoming cones suggesting WP share the same thoughts, either that or another cost saving exercise....
 
I also find it hard to believe Adam would only have 2 compression settings, I'm sure he would have a base setting he uses, maybe even two depending on rider ability but he is a talented man and would be able to taylor settings to suit an individual. Poor form to talk down your competition to get work
