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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Ahhh,nice!!. Took me a second.....You did all the bling stuff now top it with some performance****************************************!! That bling rim is screaming...."Really??!!! NEW TIRE PLEASE****************************************" Lol looks great A.:thumbsup:
 
I just polished the hub. Was contemplating picking up a new front. Thrown some money at the bike already so I'm gunna ride that tire for all its worth.
 
I t just occurred to me that you didn't break it down to get it that nice! I thought you had broke it all down, with the polished spokes and all!! They look new.
 
Nah you were right she had to come apart. Tried polishing it as is but the hub was way too pitted. Thanks!
 
Just so I understand, you took the whole wheel apart to polish the hub. Any secret power tool or special polish used to get that type of finish?
 
Green or red compound with a polishing wheel/drill or grinder is needed. Prep is hardest part sand from 80 grit to 400 then buff like mad.

Labor intensive. Rebuilding the wheel was the easier part of the process.
