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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

How do you center your rear wheel?

Do you go by the lines on swingarm. Do you measure from rim to inside of swingarm. Or from center of axle to center of swing arm pivot bolt.
 
Center of axle to swingarm pivot bolt is the most accurate.
I usually do the lines 1st and then check the measurement above.
 
THANKS, I think i trust that measurement the most. Funny how the lines on the rear of swing arm are not accurate.
 
Old school way is to get in the habit of looking from the rear of the bike forward at the sprockets. This takes a little time and practice what you look for is the rear sprocket is lining up with the front sprocket. You have to learn to not look at the chain just the sprockets. Easiest done while the bike is in the back of the truck. Or high enough to get a good line of sight. Am to old to get down low enough to get a good sighting.
Measuring is OK but trying to get different hole diameter centers lined up is easy to get off.
To check your method be it measuring or sighting take the chain off and use a good straight edge set it against the rear sprocket and see how it rests against the front sprocket.
Another check is to see where the chain is running on the sprocket (clearence on the insides of the chain) in relation to the sprocket. With this have to be carefull the chain guide is not pushing the chain to one side or the other.
Fastest way wear out a chain and sprocket faster than riding in mud is misalignment.
Good chain and sprockets are expensive so take care of them. Later George
