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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

630 Te Chain Adjustment

It's not an exact science and doesn't require all the paranoia of measuring stuff etc.

I agree with you. But... It’s not about paranoia. The point of this thread (I think) is just to find out the easiest and quickest way to adjust the chain… and be sure we are making it correctly… as the manual is a bit confused at this point. That’s why I took the time to take those measurements.
From now on, adjust it is “piece of cake”. :)

Fair enough, but i refuse to be the one watching my step for a scumbag like flynn. The shoe should well and truly be on the other foot in this situation and he should have been gone by now. I appreciate your efforts to keeping this forum going for us, but im also absolutely furious over this.
 
Sometimes you just feel like poking the bandaid on nutjobs. But, I will refrain from doing so. Starting now.....
 
You're going to call me crazy man, and may be you're right :busted: , but today I made the test again, this time with the shock absorber with its original lengh.


You could turn confused if now I tell you that the 12mm measurement that the manual recomend us is OK (may be better 11mm). But only under these conditions:



1- You have to take the measurement being sure that the chain is in the tightest point.

2. You have to take the measurement with the bike in vertical position, for example, with the handlebar laying on a wall.


Hope this help
 
An update:

IMHO, the easyest and quickest way to check the chain tight...

1.- With the bike standing on the floor, and the handlebar laying in a wall:

In the point shown in the figure, fit a bush 24-25 mm diameter (or alternatively a shim in the same size) and make sure the lower branch of the chain is slightly taut.

2.- With the bike over a stand (so the rear wheel is not touching the floor):

In the point shown in the figure, fit a bush 30-31 mm diameter (or alternatively a shim in the same size) and make sure the lower branch of the chain is slightly taut.
