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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Yes, Les is the man!

I FINALLY got around to putting the bike back together last night in anticipation of the first ride after LTR's tweaking of my forks and shock. Original stock fork rates were .50 :eek:. Shock was a 5.6 . Resprung to .44's on forks and 5.2 on shock for my 160-170 pound riding weight. I immediately noticed I was riding further down into the suspension's travel today, which was different. I'm now using the full stroke on the front and back. Farted around in a small track/junkyard/gravel pit with F2G just getting a feel for the difference. Was doing a long section of whoops in 6th gear with no problem as long as I remembered to keep my butt over the rear wheel. I no longer feel softball-volleyball size rocks as sharp impacts, just small bumps at slow speed. Front and back stick in and out of corners as well as landing from small jumps. I think it will be perfect for some gnarly root/rock action teamed up with the trials on the rear. I'm also going to install a Rekluse auto clutch after a ride or two in the woods just to get a feel for individual upgrades. Thanks Les and thanks to those of you who recommended his services! :cheers:
 
I had the same experience after I changed out the stock fork springs. My TE is like a different bike with lighter springs. No problems in the whoops either.
 
It was simple amazing to ride behind Greg at STW and Reiter. Instead of bouncing all around he and his bike were riding in a straight and level line while the suspension and wheels were going up and down like crazy, soaking it up...great job Les! Now, Greg has to get over the old method/style of riding a harsh suspension set-up, all the cringing that comes with it in the gnarly sections and just start riding faster with more confidence because he doesn't need to worry about 90% of anything he will encounter on the trail...MOMENTUM because your suspension is man enough! :cheers:
