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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Is 140 too wide?

Reading all this information, sounds like most of the tips come from ridiers who ride back east or up north where there is a lot of loam and mud. I agree that the 120 performs horribly in soft conditions, but works really well on tight trails and over rocky, technical terrain. Since that is the type of terrain I ride most of the time, I like the skinnier rear tire and have been using DOT tires like the Dunlop 606 on the back, because I do a lot of dual sporting and I need the tire to get decent mileage. If I did more pure desert riding, I would pick the wider tire, too.
