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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Need a Sachs shock spring, interchangeability with other shocks

Bloody must be, thought it was stock but obviously not.

Deffo think the calculator is junk.
Or my measurements, I'm a metric boy now.

I dunno.... I measured my coils (with a cheesy plastic caliper) and got 11.15mm on my 310; which is a fair distance from your 12.7mm ...and that's including the powder coating.

Not saying the bikes are related (certainly not KYB vs Sachs), but how sure are you of that spring wire diameter on your 360?

Seems I recall a fairly easy way of determining spring rate using a lever and a scale, and measuring the distance the spring compressed while noting the force on the scale (steady-state, obviously). Then maybe dividing by the number of free coils?? I can't remember shit nowadays. [edit: probably no division, we're measuring the entire spring rate]

hell, I can't figure out why you couldn't do that (above) with the spring still on the shock (well, maybe a few setup issues, but still...)

good luck.

Just do the conversion... 25.4mm per inch

Chad- betcha juicy is pretty good at unit conversions. Most of the English hafta convert between stones, kilograms, pounds, imperial gallons, rods, meters, feet, pints, litres, hectacres daily and do it without thought. Kinda like Canadians being pretty comfortable with metric and traditional US measurements- but taken to the next level.
 
Will get the callipers out an re measure.
That was with the nearest metal ruler I had.

Regarding Converting yeah I do alot of crossover sockets but only common ones.14mm =9/16th 19=3/4etc
Not areas too much.
Thing that gets is we do miles an hour but measure milage in gallons not liters ...
