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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

New owner of a 1999 Husky 610SM!

I have been directed to this site by someone on Thumpertalk as I am looking to convert SM to E. I bought the bike with spare E wheels (18/21) and am in the process of converting (done the front wheel).
I do however have a couple of questions regarding the swith and any help greatly appreciated.
Already overcome the front brake caliper mount by using SM brake disc. I know this will mean severe braking off road but in reality I am only using it for occasional green laning and some street riding (to get to the green laning!)
Question 1
Current SM gearing is 16/45 and I have a spare 15/48 sprocket , which would be a good compromise for E spec allowing for the bigger wheel circumference?
Question 2
The previous owner apparently had the bike lowered (i think rear shock only). I have found somewhere who will service the shock and put back to standard but my question is does anyone know the approx floor to seat hieght of an E bike for me to use as a guide?
Question 3
there is no chain guide on SM set up but have been given one. Do I need to fit it even though I am not going to be doing hard core off roading!
Sorry for the questions, bit of a newbie!
