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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Spacers for Warp 9 Supermoto Wheels?

I bought a set of supermoto wheels from Toxic racing last year. Great setup, when on pretty smooth. Anyway, fast forward to now. I go to reinstall the wheels and there is some slop (2mm perhaps) on the front rim across the axle. I installed the factory spacers from my dirt wheels and thought that was all I needed but maybe there were spacers that came with the kit that I lost. Anyone running supermoto wheels that can verify if there are additional spacers or did I just not install this right?

Thanks
 
Thanks, I couldn't remember. There is also a bit of brake drag that I need to investigate. I will have a knowledgeable buddy come help out.
 
Hey bud I had the EXACT same issue. The bearings loosen up in the hub or sink in and then the spacing is off. I went to an Orchard supply and hardware and bought appropriately sized "machine bushing" its basically a 1mm thick big washer with the correct size hole in the center and put 1 on the brake side. No problems and it tightens up like normal. Mine had tons of brake drag also, but I have the relocation kit and 320mm floating rotor. IT DOES loosen up. Part of it is the new rotor was thicker then stock, not 100% perfect offset with everything and the new rotor has a great finish on it so any little rub causes excessive drag.

Worked out fine and my bike has done 3-4 track days. I used all the factory spacers with just some machine bushings front and rear.


On the rear my brake rotor was rubbing the slide bracket welded to the swingarm. It needed grinding and clearancing and a 1mm machine bushing between the brake caliper hanger that goes on the axle, and the swingarm. So on the "outside".


Hope this helps.
