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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

tank bolt spinning...

I liked the idea a while back about using silicone sealant instead of anti seize. You barely have to tighten and the silicone acts like threadlocker and keeps any moisture out of the threads. Very easy to remove bolt and clean the threads. I have yet to have any back out since using silicone.
 
I have also found that the rear brakes adjustable cam for pedal height should be siliconed since I'm always trying to find the comfy pedal height. That Allen head bolt doesn't take much torque and I really would not want to loose that bolt
 
I am trying to find a solution to my brake pedal. I feel like I have to literally pick my foot up to use the thing. I have it adjusted as far down as it goes with the little cam thing but it still is not enough. Maybe I need more flexible boots? wearing sidi chargers. im thinking about trying to get some pivot pegz or something. I have a similar problem with the shift lever on the left. Though not as pronounced. getting really freaking frustrated as it feels like I can't stand up at all on this bike.
 
Pivot Pegz work great! You ride better with weight in you heal and roll your foot on the brake.

Search for brake lever mods - is a thread or two here. Some fit a different shackle on the plunger. I removed the nut if I remember correctly to give more adjustment and have also removed a little metal on the underside of the lever so it does not stop against the mount.
 
Do the 630s have different lower frame ergonomics than the 610s? My 610 has stock pegs and my brake is adjusted somewhere near the middle, and I stand up and shred on it all the time.

Baron, are you also adjusting the clevis location on the master cylinder threaded shaft? Do you have more adjustment range there? If so, you can always just put a spacer between the stopped cam and the lever to hold the brake even further down...
