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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

125-200cc rear wheel spacer question

um ok this is a bit stupid but I punched out the rear bearings on my 13 wr165(first time ive done bearings:applause:) no probs & am gonna put new ones in tomorrow. have them in freezer, seals picked & chockas full of grease ready to go but I forget which way the central spacer goes in. it has a small bush on one end that looks rusted onto spacer & I cant bloody remember which way it goes(bush at single bearing end of hub or double bearing end as in drive side of hub)? anyone know & does it matter? what does that bush do exactly? thanking yall
 
Im assuming its not dependent on orientation i would put the bush in the side you plan to drive the axle in from all im thinking is it centralises the spacer so it doesnt drop an make putting axle in a nightmare.

But Ive been wrong before.
 
Juicypips has it fairly correct. Distance spacers often have a collar or something on them to help center the collar. The hub will be narrower on the end that the collar-side of the distance spacer goes towards. Ultimately it really doesn't matter, though. If you get it in backwards, it will still distance the bearings properly and prevent them from being side-loaded.:thumbsup:
