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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Sealing spoke rims

Happy Thanksgiving to all! A friend and I bought 2014 TE310's to ride single track, dual sport and with a change of wheels, super motard. I do all my own tire changing and didn't want the hassel of tubes so after much research I will attempt to seal our spoke motard wheels. This is what you'll need: tubeless valve stems, isopropyl alcohol for final rim cleaning, sealing compound, latex gloves to apply the silicone, rim band and a nice comfortable work area.

Work area.

As you can see, I have the wheels, balancing stand, silicone, alcohol, latex gloves, a pleasant basement man cave and tv to make this job more pleasant.

Will post more as I get further along.
 
Somehow my first thread got lost when orego sage moved this from the 4 Stroke section so I'm reposting it.
