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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

One piston jammed!

On my brembo brakes that is. In fact it's not jammed, it just moves so slow when compared to the other piston. If I clamp the good piston down, the problem piston pushes out lovely.

Should try bleeding? I'm gonna put this off until my new pads come through. This all came about btw when my fork seal blew and oil went all over the calliper. By the the end of the ride it was caked in a mud and oil. When the fork was removed for servicing I set about cleaning the calliper. I presume the pads are ruined as they were saturated in oil. annoying as they were new!

Just another annoyance I thought I would mention. When the fork seals were being sorted it was found the bottom pre load spacer was missing on one fork (the blown fork). To my knowledge the forks have never been looked at so must have left the factory incomplete!!
 
I noticed that on mine when I was looking at my front brakes. The reason I was looking at my brakes was that they were kind of mushy. I was pulling the lever while the caliper was resting on the disc. Unfortunately the caliper slipped off and I pumped the lever again moving the piston to the point I could not slip it back on the disc. I decided to pump the pistons all the way out when I noticed one moving at a greater rate than the other. Since I did not have a c channel vice I decided to loosen the bleeder and push the caliper in by hand. After bleeding the brakes the mushy feeling went away.

I am not sure if that is normal operation or if the brakes needed to be bleed. Either way....my brakes are like new again.

Sorry to hear about the forks....I am glad I have mine sorted out for now!
