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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

All 2st Wheel twists in the forks

My front wheel seems to twist in the forks real easy even while riding. Granted there is a lot of roots and whoops but it seems a\like it moves awfully easy. Clamps are tightened down as much as i am comfortable with . amost 18- 20 lbs torqued. axle tight. anything internal??
 
How about steering stem nut? Is it tight? I have to check mine every once in a while. Seems to loosen up from time to time...
 
Yes points off to one side or the other and i have to get off and kick it back to approximate centerline.

Sounds to me like a steering stem problem. If you over tighten the lower triple clamp pinch bolts it will cause internal wear in your forks. I usually tighten the lower triple clamp pinch bolts to 1/2 the specified torque.
