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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

HI All,
about to pick up a used set of SMR510 Wheels for my TE630. What is the deal with the spacers? Do i just use the stock spacers that's on the TE wheels?

I vaguely remember reading something about the spacers can't seem to recall what i need to do to get it to work aside from drilling out the te rotors for the larger diameter bolt.

I had to play with the spacing on the front a little to make it work for me. The front wheel has to be realy dead center to accomadate the wider tire in between the realatively narrow front forks of a TE but I think my rim might have laced with a little bias in it, most people don't have a problem as long as you're using the TE rotor.
 
So what exacting was involved when you say you had to play with the spacing?
Were you able to use the stock spacers?
Did you have to use different spacers?

What I had to do is add 1/8" spacing to the rotor side in order to center the wheel. That meant that I had to add an additional 1/8" spacing to the caliper in order to get it center perfectly over the rotor. I made the shims to do it which were basically a few washers cut to the right size. Like I said before, I don't think that this is something that most people would have to deal with, I really think that when my wheel got laced up they muxt have got the center line bias wrong. I always figured that I would take the wheel down to Wheel Works and see if they correct the offset but it hasn't proved to be big deal and has no adverse affect on handling so it's been been low on my "to do" list.
