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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Rear wheel 'position' -

I am referring to the adjustment of the rear wheel that moves it 'back' or 'forward' effectively making the bike longer or shorter. I'm wondering can you feel a difference in the way the bike handles if the wheel is adjusted all the way back or all the way forward - ?

Mine is adjusted most of the way back to take up chain slack - I'm considering cutting a link to move it forward to make the bike feel 'shorter', easier to lift the front wheel and turn I'd imagine, but it seems like a lot of trouble to mess with the chain length if the difference is negligible.
 
In my opinion, "longer" is better for straight high speed racing, up- and downhills, more stability, "shorter" - for tight forest single tracks, turns better.
