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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Smelly knee braces??

Ok so yeah... I know this seems like a strange question... But...

Wondering if anyone has a cure to get the neoprene on the back of the Asterisk knee braces to stop smelling?

I have tried all kinds of soaps, sprays and even soaked then in viniger... What ever I do only seems to help a bit but a few rides later...
 
Helmet liner freshener spray. Once the neoprene gets stinky there's not much we can do but mask it.
 
I stink my stuff up every few days ... it seems after the new coating is gone, they smell like me ....

This VS1 stuff helps temporarily ...

I like to make sure these things dry completely by putting them somewhere to dry completely ... I'll even burn'em in the hot sun light here.

Try sitting in the same space as my hockey gear bag. Your skin will peel right off.
 
Brutal you tried washing? Just sayin is all.
But freezer idea works and so does leaving them somwhere well out of your noses reach.
 
If shes half as firey as mine i would love to see your face as they make contact with your face as soon as she twigs what youve done, like shoes in the fridge its a no no.
Sad times may need to buy a fridfe freezer for my gear.
 
Lmao... Ok to many people to mention above ⬆️⬆️⬆️ But thanks for the ideas I will have to try some of the ideas
 
bring em in the shower with you scrub them with a wash brush and mild soap and put them out under the sun to dry... or what the other guys said. this what I do with all my non wash machine gear. works pretty well.
 
Had a similar problem with my vest in the summer. Here is what I do for the Kevlar panels that can not be washed and it cures it for a couple weeks. I remove the panels from the vest and us a Clorox wipe to clean them and then I lay them stinky side up in the sun on the back deck for an afternoon. The UV seems to kill almost everything that is stinking up the panels for a couple weeks. Not a permanent cure but at least I can sit in a car with myself! :busted:
