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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Sub fram bolts catching boots

I find that my boots get caught on the sub frame bolts locking my foot on the peg. It's a little scary not being able to get it loose right away. I will replace the brake bolts to match as well. I looked at a hardware store for a round headed allen bolt but they only had it in SAE. Any suggestions.
I have A-star tech 10 boots.
 
i have the same problem with my tech 10's. i was thinking that frame guards may fix the problem....if i could find some.
 
I started trying to build some frame guards, but didn't come up with a good design. Now that you mention it, I think I will try again. If it works, I'll post a picture for you.
 
I went to Fastenal and got some Button Socket Cap Screws to match the stock sub frame and brake caliper bolts. Cost $1.30. They should be fine. All I needed was a rounded surface instead of a sharp hex head. They sit closer to the frame too. I'll stick with these and just ride. I started desiging frame guards but thought that the bolts where and easier fix.
Don't go to Home Depot. They don't have them. Tried a True Value, no luck. You will probably need to go to a specialty store like Fastenal.
