  • 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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 Rear Sprocket Trouble

AA Class
I am using stock sprockets and chain, on my last ride the chain came off the rear sprocket and I am not sure what happened to cause this, because I clean, check and adjust as required every ride. (I might of just hit something and did not notice it)

Now I noticed that the sprocket is warped and I only have 2580 KMS on it, but it has obvious signs of wear. I also am not sure if I should try to straighten it or just buy new sprockets and chain.

I would appreciate some feed back on what is the best replacement sprockets and chain to use.

Thanks in advance for any info.
 
Ok guys, dredging up an old thread here...when replacing sprockets is it mandatory to replace the chain as well? If so what is the go-to replacement chain setup?
 
If you have access to a new chain (or someone you know does, he can measure a set number of links and send you the measurement), lay your old chain down next to a new one and put a screwdriver in one end of both chains and stretch them out, see my pic below, the text next to each chain is at the same link, the KLE chain is way stretched out, I put the 4000 mile Husky chain on my KLE and I put a new chain on the Husky. The 4k chain from the Husky runs real quiet on the KLE.

I'd say, if you can determine that your old chain is stretched, I'd replace it, in my example, the 4000 mile DID chain off the Husky still had a lot of life to give.
