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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Chain Tension With The Cts?

Hi bbc,

The chain tension is much tighter on the CTS than it is on a traditional bike set up. The husqvarna owners manual states only 5mm movement in a correctly tensioned chain. I personally thought it was too tight and settled for about 10mm.

After the initial breakin (say 100 or so kms) I re-adjusted the chain, but over the following 800 Kms I have not had to change the tension at all. It is always tight.

The other side benefit of a constantly tight chain is the reduction in chain chatter.

It might feel a bit scarey at first to have such a tight chain but it is correct.

What bike do you have ?

Any pics ?
 
I have the tc 449 I don't have internet besides my phone and I can't figure out how to upload them off it lol thanks a bunch for the insight I will run around 10mm like you said it worked for you it should work for me too!
