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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Those Marvelous 50 MM Marzocchi Forks

I had my forks revalved by Pro Action and they eat Pa rocks like candy. Problem: my riding skills resulted in a flipped bike with a small rock dent in the right fork slider. Well, a leak followed:cry:. Scott from Toy Tech Husky said that it's amazing how well J B Weld fills dents in fork sliders. I did so and finished by polishing the fork with 600 and then 1000 grit abrasive. I used a dampened sponge to press the abrasive against the fork slider and follow it's circumference. But, I still had a leak. Dropping down the fork wiper, I used old 35 mm film to clean out under the seal. I could see grit wash out that had ridden up in the dent and gotten under the seal. Then I cleaned out the old silicone grease from the wiper and put new silicone grease in it. Bingo, no more leak:thumbsup:.
 
Done the 35mm trick many times on my bikes. Had some friends all ready to send the forks in for a rebuild and throw money down the drain, the funny thing is their son is a bike mechanic. Their can be quite a scratch in the lower and they still won't leak.
