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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Suspension oil...

AA Class
So my seals on the forks was starting to leak (my fault) and dropped it off to the shop I always go to for them to change it.
So they did, got my forks back but did notice in the shop that the rebound was poor. Anyways, installed them in the bike and found that the forks had different length aka not assembled properly.
Back to the shop with this attitude -> :naughty:
Got them back and they seem equally length now.
In the bike they went but rebound was no where....So as i was pissed off with the first shop I took them to the suspension specialist for them to fix it properly.
Dropped them off on Saturday and picked them up a week after. Went home and F'ing same thing....!!!

So spoke to a couple of guys and one of them send me this link: http://www.peterverdone.com/archive/introduction.htm

Under low speed dampening if found that the viscosity on fork oil is all over the place! :confused:

So tonight me and a mate will change the oil (should be 5wt) to something that for sure is 5wt and check air cap (100mm according to the manual)

Wish me luck.... I have until Friday morning to get them to work or i'll be driving 7h to an awesome track with a bike with a bouncing castle front fork!
 
All sorted. Different oil with correct wt and 'beefed' up the rebound shim stack.
Still amazed how different the viscosity is on different oil!

Big thanks to MPE for sorting it out.
