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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

General chain tension

I installed a 50T in the rear and still have stock 13T up front. Is there a general rule for chain tension you can recommend or stay with the manufactures spec.

stock specs are accurate- I previously confirmed this by disconnecting the shock and rotating the swing arm which is the 'general rule' to check chain tension with an unknown - then measure/replicate that tension= stock specs
 
get some fatties to sit on it or strop the back down so the gearb box out out shaft , swing arm bolt and rear axle are ill in a straight line . make it bout right there .
 
Don't just set the slack up loose to be safe. Set up the slack to spec. Too loose is bad for other reasons. Regina discusses the "chain too loose" problems on their website. Using the correct slack is the best thing to do. A too-loose chain encounters a larger load spike when the chain goes from relaxed to tense when off and on the throttle.
