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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Another sprocket question

Was looking at my sprocket (after riding in wet areas) noticed that water ect. is able to pass the fasteners holding the sprocket on(trickle of colored mud after washing coming from all fasteners) I checked to see if they were loose and they spun freely in the hole put the nuts were secure.....is this oh crap or you just now noticed this(like the full floating rear brake making noise) or maybe both?
 
Take them off and check the holes in the hub for elongation. Hopefully this has not yet occurred! Clean the threads, I like medium locktight, red is too tough, put it back to together and check them every couple rides so you'll know if they are loosening.

Are you running an aftermarket sprocket? I've heard of some countersinking to be too deep and the nut running out of threads when you tighten.
