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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

I was wondering what static sag should be set at or what is working good for you with the sachs shock? I have been really fighting my bike in high speed turns and just trying to figure things out with it thanks.
 
The rear has 305mm of travel. You want 33mm static sag (+-2mm) and 104mm rider sag. Front forks have 300mm travel. Static sag of 42mm and rider sag of 75mm.
 
Thanks for the replies. My static sag is good but then my rider sag is like 4 3/8. Going to order a new spring and hopefully get it worked out.
 
I can tell you what works for me. right or wrong (probably wrong) I am 200lbs in skivvys. I first put on a 5.8 spring and the sag #'s came in about right. I set at 105 in street clothes. Then at 100 and I always fought with loosing the front end. So I jumped up to a 6.2 and WOW what a difference in handling. I had the shock serviced and with the 6.2 it works pretty well, but I still am having a problem with it bottoming in the g-outs. It goes through the whoops and jumps fine just the g-out bottom severely (low speed all the way in and the rebound 3 clicks out) I know it is has a lot to do with where I ride which, mostly fast two track. So my next step is Zip-Ty. Anyway, that's my story.
