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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Mashed my pretty Wallybean custom pipe on a rock at the Timekeeper Enduro yesterday.

It pulled it out of the cylinder and bent it so I couldn't get it back in. Had to limp it about 10 miles back to the staging area sounding like a souped-up chainsaw.

Think this can be straightened?

I think Pacific pipe repair can fix that. The pipe mount points will still line up with their jig for your bike. They do amazing work. They are also close to you. If they can't do it send it back to me and I will see if my guy can fix it. No guarantees but as a last resort it is worth a try. Man you hit hard. The fatty is a pretty tough pipe and I have had some serious impacts with nothing close to that kind of damage.

With a proper Motoz front from Kelly you wouldn't have had that problem........:lol:

aww, c'mon now. the s12 is a "decent" tire. gary turner, 425-774-3082, in lynwood can get it straightened out for you. i think i gave him $40 a piece for the last round of pipes i took to him.
 
What can I say Walt, it was a big rock in a bad place. A guy on one of the minutes behind me hit it too and put his break pedal through the side case of his new 350.

I've run the Motoz front before and didn't get much out of it before it started tearing side knobs. I haven't run the the S12 before, but it was working great in the Capitol Forrest slime.

Thanks for the info Steve. That's the 3rd recomendation I've had for Gary Turner so I'll see what he thinks. If nothing else I can run my 125 pipe to get by.

Just yucking with you. I was assuming that the tire had nothing to do with hitting an obstacle that hard. Please post after pics of your pipe when you get it back.

I know. It actually didn't feel like that hard of a hit, just pretty solid. Will do. If nothing else it'll make a good conversation piece hanging on the wall.
 
I finished 20 miles of a 35mile HS with a pipe pulled out like that!

Boy was it loud!

Bike ran surprising well though!
 
Good as new.....well almost

Had to get a little creative with the front frame mount, but I'm very happy with the results.

Thats why I hate riding in big rock close to the trail ... There's a million here and you just gotta stay on the path in many places ...

Another good point on a 2T ... Their pipes can almost always be straightened ... Even putting water in the pipe and freezing it over night can fix small dents ...

Looks like that guy did some good work on that pipe ...
 
Impressive for sure. I thought I'd at least have to stick a broom handle in the front spigot to get that to line up but it was spot on. $40 for the repair vs $250 for a new one.
