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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

     TE = 2st Enduro & TC = 2st Cross

TE/TC Going on record as a Hater

nah just passing along knowledge.........experience with the trails there in that area, plush/soft even if a little sloppy in the faster stuff is better for all day rides like this one. there are more than a few trails there that Ive been on numerous times on various rides and races down there that are long and completely rock infested some are embedded some are loose most all are blocky with sharp edges to kick you out of control (this is one trail hack reason I like mousses).
we did a long grade semi steep loose rock uphill section at last years HS, that for the second loop was raining and cold, it was hellbound..a real test of my endurance and mindset, the 4 stroke TXC310R worked well in that stuff, but I know the 300 2 smoke will be a gear up low rpm tractor as well. Im so stoked on this years enduro!!

wanted to throw this up as well, best thing is that there are not that many real solid trees in our zone, like some of you guys have in your zones, so we usually have a bush whacking way out/through if you get off line or a bush to catch you if you get off into the brush. manzanita is hard but still bushy and can save you if you need to bail into it.
 
Spoke with halls today. Seems to be some love or hate with the forks but jeff races with them and even thought they were good stock but revalved them as he had it done there. My front and rear is revalved and it is what it is. When I get the bike if we don't have snow already or the ground is frozen I'll check them out. I am confident it will all be fine or I'll figure some alternative out. I need the bike not to deflect is the big thing....
 
Yea. Hec alot of people complained about the 45mm zokes but come on when there set up properly they work great! And he a handful of gassers I just swapped in 0 wt fork oil and they were fine! What I do like about the 4cs fork is the no tools needed and adjustments up top. Spring changes are supposed to be pretty simple. Anyways with my 50th birthday and some super senior a class sandbagging to look forward to I'm super stoked for getting a new bike and stepping back to the brand I've worshiped since 1987!! I'll deal with the forks and get em dialed! Over 2k in acc. By golly she better work!!!
 
Sounds good for him but the "countless hours of development" part sounds expensive for us :eek:. I'm sure guys will get this figured out in time for us normal riders.
 
Yes Fletchman the spring swap was easy once we got the top cap off. You can do it on the bike in a few minutes. I purchased a special top cap nut tool that worked great on one side but broke taking off the other side. I ended up using a pipe wrench on the special tool as the nut milled into it broke off :(. Like you said they will get sorted just a matter of time.
 
I love the no tool adjustment up top that is premium!! I hope to keep them as they are, but I will find out what Ty does very soon.
Also love what Nick F said. Thats some great news, but I wonder what type of set up Nick likes? Ive ridden nat and internat pros offroad race bikes some are butter plush (what I like) and some are like MX/SX(no way) even for enduro racing.
 
As stated here already, please don't assume that your bike sucks because it has 4CS forks. I do my own suspension and I've already had a few of these on my workbench... It's unbelievable how they shimmed some of these forks. There are models with a clamped midvalve (zero float) with a super firm stack, and other models that follow more traditional valving strategy (and their performance ranges from "on the map" to "pretty good" right out of the crate).

I just don't want to see anybody 'decide' that their bike sucks because they 'got stuck with' 4CS forks. That is not becoming our experience in my rider group. And I don't have near the R&D capability of the somebody like Tinken.
 
As for the OC WP forks coming on the Sherco's... I have no experience. But I've got 14 and 15 KTM's with the OC forks and they're really, really nice in my opinion. Not perfect, and I'm a shimaholic, but very good. IF Sherco is doing even better... then we've got some great forks out there!
 
Well I think that's what ZipTy is doing right, turning these 4cs into OC forks?? If that's the case they should be dam good.
 
If ripping the guts out of the 4CS is the way to go then it's like giving up on tuning these 4 chamber forks isn't it? :excuseme:
 
We will actually be turning them into 5CS forks. We built two prototypes which are working well. New parts will be going into production soon.

My amp goes to 11.

Nigel Tufnel: The numbers all go to eleven. Look, right across the board, eleven, eleven, eleven and...
Marty DiBergi: Oh, I see. And most amps go up to ten?
Nigel Tufnel: Exactly.
Marty DiBergi: Does that mean it's louder? Is it any louder?
Nigel Tufnel: Well, it's one louder, isn't it? It's not ten. You see, most blokes, you know, will be playing at ten. You're on ten here, all the way up, all the way up, all the way up, you're on ten on your guitar. Where can you go from there? Where?
Marty DiBergi: I don't know.
Nigel Tufnel: Nowhere. Exactly. What we do is, if we need that extra push over the cliff, you know what we do?
Marty DiBergi: Put it up to eleven.
Nigel Tufnel: Eleven. Exactly. One louder.
Marty DiBergi: Why don't you just make ten louder and make ten be the top number and make that a little louder?
Nigel Tufnel: [pause] These go to eleven.

4CS F THAT WE GOT 5CS
