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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

I was on a 100 mile race last weekend and at mile 55 front tire goes flat. Stopped and put air in and no hissing. So I continue...couple rock gardens later it was flat again. Stopped..aired up and no hissing again so I continue again and yet again flat a couple rock gardens later. I continued this rountine until mile 85 or so and said screw it I will just ride through it. Gawd the blisters....anyway I was curious what to look for when taking the tire off and replacing the rube. The wheel "seems" ok and bearings seem ok but I havent taken the wheel off yet either(its a wr300)
 
Should only be bent rim issues. If bent real hard maybe loose spokes. Should not affect bearing or anything else. If the rim looks OK, slap a tube in and ride :thumbsup:
 
Take the tire, tube and rim strip off and then re-mount the wheel in the forks. Spin if and notice if the rim is true and/or wobbles. Check the spoke tension to ensure there are no loose or broke spokes.
 
+! Fast1...if it's still true, slap a new front tyre and tube and go again
