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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

it looks like a simple dzus, darned if i can get it to turn at all. is there a secret? i'm trying to be forceful, but not too forceful.
 
Sometimes, I think they get some corrosion on them and it makes it hard to turn them. I use a big screwdriver shaft stuck through the D ring on my bike for leverage. I use Bel Ray 6in1 on it and try to keep it lubed and clean if possible....but it seems to be hard to turn most of the time, and always harder to get loose than to tighten down.:excuseme:
 
it was just new, and i was being wimpy. i did have to use a screwdriver stuck through the D-ring for more leverage. It goes in easily if you put it in without the seat on, so i assume as it packs down it'll get easier.
 
Sometimes it will want to twist the fabric of the seat too. I squirted a bit of WD40 on it when I first got my bike to stop it from twisting and eventually ripping the seat.

pushing down helps, too.

+1 on that...

You'll also notice junk gets in there too. By the end of the force ride I had to use a screw driver to get the seat off...:doh:
 
it is convienient, but make sure it is tight or u'll loose your seat on the Turnpike on the way to your next race!

Don't ask how I know.
 
What 'Dirtdame' said. :thumbsup: Screwdriver gently. Some are like this from new... hey ho, they soon bed in.
 
Take the little plastic washer off on the underside of the seat, that helps tremendously. Never had a problem with it being tight though.
