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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

What bike stand/lift do you use?

Interesting, but I don't know...seems to me there would be a lot of flex with that, and it's only rated to 300 lbs.

I need something very transportable - I'm in a spot where I have to lock/cover up next to the house, and it's a narrow stairwell down to the basement where the tools are. Sucks that I can't get the bike in and have to work outside or in a buddy's garage, but it is what it is. So I'm looking for something somewhat reasonable to tote up. I've seen simple stands w/ a simple foot lever (non-hydraulic) but the concern was finding one that slides under in it's lowest position- also skeptical as to if the foot lever will raise it enough to get it off the ground.

Looks good- thanks. It still looks to me as though there would be a fair amount of wobble when it's raised, but then again perhaps not. Doesn't really matter seeing as I wouldn't be doing anything that dramatic while it's up anyway. :) Appreciate you posting the link.
