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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Nice bit on the FAR bike in cycle news digital

Nice, I'm really glad to see and scale up the fork projection for personal testing (I want more front end plant now that my sag is set in the rear).

Someone just took the photo and sent it to Cycle News... I sure wish he would have asked for some info....

I can tell you anything you want to know about what we do to the TXC 310 an the TC 250....

Seems the best way with mags is to push the info. Maybe do a quick write up and send a few photos if you have time / want to.

Keep up the great effort. :cheers:
 
FAR, thanks for checking in. Can you tell me the fork (black part only, projection from the top of the clamp on pictured bike. I can scale it from the foto. I have a one rate heavier rear spring on the way to get my rear sag better dialed, Im at 100mm race but at 18 static with a bunch of turns into the spring, the next rate up (6 from 5.8) should get me to a better static number with less spring bind. I dont even know whats in the front but I will find out from RaceTech. (they did the set up for the previous owner-'11 TE310). Or any of your preferred sag standards for these bike suspension set ups would be nice.Thx Rob

What spring do you have in the front ? Your weight ? Static and Rider sag on front forks ? You want about 40-42 static (14% of available travel )front and 75mm rider sag (25% of available travel)front. You want 34% of available travel in rider sag rear. On my WR150 that is about 32-34mm static sag (11%) and 101-103mm rider sag (34%). Now it settles right down in a corner like it should. I had to go down one size on fork springs. I had to go WAY UP on rear spring. Went from a 5kg to a 6kg. That is 5 sizes heavier. Now it is very plush.
