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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Tried a few settings. Now, I'm running mine dropped down to the 2nd indent from the top on my TE310. Lower than I would normally run the forks on my Katooms, but this bike's a different animal. She turns on a dime and thus far, doesn't misbehave at speeds at this setting. I am using a stabalizer too though, so that helps with the shake at speed you might get with a tighter/shorter rake on yer bike. Most of what I do is 24mph or less though and didn't like the turning characteristics of them being dropped down to the cap.
 
I have gone up and down over time and keep coming back to your setting as the best all round position. If I were doing more speed work in sand, with lots of berms etc. I would probably drop them one or two lines in the clamps.
 
Started at third line/two spaces from top, was a bit twitchy. Now at second line/one space and liking it. Still turns on a dime.
