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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Aftermarket Triple Clamp (Change Offset)?

Is anybody aware of any aftermarket triple clamps for the TE610?

I am interested in reducing my trail (increase my offset) to try to get my 610 to turn a little bit quicker. I really love the bike, but it's a lot of work to muscle around in the woods, and it's plenty stable at speed. Since we're sort of stuck with the stock chopper-esque rake on the 610, I am interested in changing the offset.

I have measured the stock offset at about 27mm, I'd like to try triple clamps at 30 or 31mm.

If I can't find any, I just might machine up a set and see if it works...

I've already tried sliding the forks up in the triple clamps, and it probably helped, but the change wasn't significant enough and I've lost that much ground clearance on a bike that doesn't have a ton to begin with.
 
On second though, more offset might have the bad side effect of increasing the wheelbase.

I wonder if I could machine up a pair of angled bearing seats, to allow me to change the rake angle... I will have to take some measurements!
