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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Steering stops?

How important are they? The metal piece on the steering stem (on my bike) is worn down.

Should I fix it, or just live with being able to turn the handle bars until the forks touch the gas tank??

Pros & cons of having/not having steering stops???

Maybe you can turn tighter in the woods without them? What do you folks think?
 
They are there to protect you fuel tank . If you ever have glanced off a tree going fast in the bush the stops would save you tank from possible damage. Not from the forks hitting the tank but from your tank twisting or moving on the frame while being pushed from your forks.

I'd fix it, if I were you. JMO.

:cheers:

Thanks for the advice. I think that I will fix it. It seems like my front wheels turns too far, then starts to dig into the ground (snow riding) right now - maybe if the stops are fixed it won't do this as much...
