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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Terra fork stone guard issue

A week or so ago I removed the forks to replace the seals, and found this.

The plastic fork stone guard has been quietly wearing away the aluminium slider.

After replacing the seals and setting them up as per kiwiape's post

I re-installed the forks followed by the left guard. Then I heated the guard at the flap edge and bent it out in the hope that it would clear the slider.

When I attached the brake line to the guard I discovered the culprit. If I simply screwed it into position it put a rotating torque on the guard. To remedy this I put a counter-torque on the cable before tightening it up. This stopped the deformation.
I think I was successful, but time will tell.

Anyone with a Terra should check this out.

Mine has done the same, a bit annouying. How does it feel now?

I haven't tried it out as the bike is unregistered at present. I don't plan to put it back on the road until after Christmas when I've got a couple of high country rides planned.
