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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

what kind of a gap do you guys run between your foot and the rear break lever. I had a couple of fast guys ride my 144 and both crapped themselves when they went for the rear brake and nothing was there ... i.e. it was much lower than where they have theirs. Which is a snick below the level of the foot peg. My lever is as high as it will go and an easy inch or more below the sole of my boot when i'm standing. Its not quite so bad sitting down but a real reach standing. I never gave it much thought as coming from 4t's ... I don't have any real rear brake technique ... which perhaps explains my lack of speed ....

I don't see anyway to get the lever up closer to my foot ...
 
As high as possible for me, I run my shifter pretty high as well, easier to brake and shift when I am standing, which is most of the time.
I done the same thing on other peoples bikes, scared the sh$% out of myself, now I check before I pin it down a trail on someone else's bike
 
Loosen the jam nut on the master cylinder push rod and the height
can be adjusted, and use the eccentric for fine tuning.
 
I set my brake lever to the same height as my shifter so I'll always a guide to adjust it with as the pads wear.

I'm not the most in-tune rider and can usually cope with any oddity, except a hanging rear brake pedal that's 2" lower than the shifter. My brain picks up on that ASAP.

And I'm an anchor dragger so I need my rear brakes!

did that .. as far as I can tell its all the way out and still way too low, maybe i should check the rear brake pads!! But I'm not a huge rear brake user
 
The pad wear should not affect the height, i took my eccentric off to get my brake higher, just left the screw in with a piece of plastic tubing over it
