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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

TE449/511 rear wheel spacers and issue. Any aftermarket available?

Not having much luck looking for these and OEM are $43 each. Does anyone know of any aftermarket ones available.

Only reason I have an issue is I replaced the front sprocket with a 14 tooth item before last ride which was great but when taking bike off the trailer I noticed the bike was hard to push as the rear wheel was very hard to turn. Pulled wheel off (had to replace tyre anyway) and something has gone very wrong as one of the bearing seals is badly worn and both wheel spacers are marked. One worse than the other and one in an uneven offset manner. Always torque axle to spec. Only thing I can think of is that the Wild Turkey got to me and I somehow stuffed the rear wheel alignment but sprocket wear looks sweet after the 110km ride with the 14t front sprocket. All hastily pulled apart before checking unfortunately..
 
Enduring engineering sell spacers I believe fit. I have a few but haven't fitted them yet to knew for sure.
 
Thanks Caiman. You're right EE do have them. As per usual nobody has them in stock and Sutto's is the only distributor over here. Might used the hammered ones for now and make an order for them. Did you get the full kit with bearings, seals and spacers or just the spacers on their own?
 
Thanks mate. Yep shipping is a killer especially with the strengthening USD also!

Don't remind me of the weak AUD! I've just dropped a bomb on parts for my forks from Euro suppliers, would've been nicer to do it when it was $1.05 not $0.88.

What part of Sydney you in? I might be able to be persuaded to part with a set of spacers (I have a spare set).
 
Kills you doesn't it!

Live all the way out in Hawkesbury area and work in Rydalmere. You're a gentleman for the offer but don't want to be putting anyone out! How about yourself?
 
Sutho working around the Eastern beaches :P

I'll be out at R&D Husky picking up a clutch pack around 9-930 tomorrow morning.
 
Damn have to do some work in morning. Would have been perfect.

You mean Sutherland yeah? I have to pick up some roof racks from Engadine tomorrow lunch / arvo.
 
Glad you guys got that sorted. We were supposed to have them made, but have other irons in the fire.
 
Haha. I might have to make some Aussie versions in the shop. Those new fuel caps are more important!
 
Resurrecting this thread. Does anyone know of any suppliers of wheel spacers, i wouldn't mind replacing both front and rear sets as both have groves worn in. Can't seem to find any that are available for a reasonable price in the uk.

I'm half tempted to find a local machine shop to knock some up for me, maybe out of stainless.
