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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Fastway Evolution Ii Footpegs Cleat Question

Howdy all,

Just picked up a pair of these footpegs for a SMOKING deal on CL....

Before I locktite the cleats in place, I'm torn on which length to use... I ride a wr125, and try to be pretty aggresive with it, and trail ride only in mainly muddy, sloppy conditions...

My concerns / trade-offs

Longer cleats = better grip / Shorter cleats = grip?
Longer cleats = worse leg gouging potential
Longer cleats = shorter boot life?

What you running, short, long, a combo?
 
we ride mostly dry down here, but I still sharpen the heck out of my foot pegs (on the OEM ones). The level of control is definitely better (most pros are sharp to very sharp, especially SX/MX guys) but of course it tears into your soles, I never think about the injury perspective( but that is also a possibility, but more so with OEM type sharpened that with the fastway platform type with long cleats. You riding in PNW mud, my suggestion go with the longer cleats it will be noticeably better for control.
 
I wasn't aware there were different length cleats. I thought there were just different types. Get the pointy type.

It came with the Allen type cleats. 10mm and 12mm. Wondering if there is a winning combo I should be using?
