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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Linkage overhaul!! local bike shop quoting $220 for all ballz overhaul kit.. Flea bay has moose for $90.. anyone used it? does it have all parts required for full backend replacement.. any one know of another brand.
I really want to support local shop but really need to watch what I'm spending as Ordered piston rings and new reeds as at 100 hrs the old ones are pretty chipped.
 
i got an allballs swing arm kit, this was literally the two flanged nserts 4 bearings with seals inbuilt and two external seals. still good. not sure if a complete kit will contain the shock bearing.
you got a link for the moose ones?
 
the moose stuff is fine.

i put the linkage kit and the swing arm kit in and didnt have any problems. i take my lower shock bearing apart 3 or 4 times a season. if you wait to long itll destroy the rollers. just clean it regularly and itll be fine.
 
I wouldn't touch another Allballs kit. I bought one about 5 years ago for my Suzuki, and half the kit was (way) out of spec. They replaced it with another kit that looked like factory parts, but for what they cost, I wouldn't take the chance.
 
Moose stuff is All Ballz. I have a couple of Moose fork kits hanging on the wall right now and they have "by All Ballz" on them.
 
The moose/all balls linkage kit comes with all of the linkage stuff plus a spherical lower shock bearing, but it doesn't come with the swingarm stuff.

In my experience it doesn't matter what you use if you don't maintain them.
 
Local bike shop got the all ballz linkage kit and swingarm kit.. got both, Started pullin apart. Man the swivel bearing on the shock was dry and no needles left.. others wernt tobad but replaceing anyway. Swivel bearing on shock totally different to standard, Has Cup washers and way too tight to press on. Taking It to local machine engineer to put in and get the others out that I cant..
 
good shout, dont forget to grease those bad boys atleast 4 times a season with waterproof grease, putoline do a race grease wich is waterproof an Blue
 
I clean and regrease my stuff a couple times a year. Replaced the one bearing in the pivot that doesnt get a grease zirc. It was rusted solid. Replaced it with a synergy seals delrin insert.
 
Save yourself a load of money by just buying the bearings that are worn out.
Not sure how it works in other countries but there is an SKF shop here that sells all the bearings. The sizes are on the fiches and you just ask for what you need. I just replaced my swing arm bearings and the linkage ones too. Did not see the need to buy the whole kit so saved myself at least 100 bucks.
 
i ALWAYS replace in pairs, if one side is gone there is no point having to replace the other halfway through the season when you could of just done the pair together. just my ocd showing
