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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Extra Wheels for TE511 ???

Winter is coming up fast on us in the northern parts of North America, the time when most riders winterize & whine.
A few of the usual suspects that I ride with install ice racing tires and play on the ice when it's not too frigid.
Marcel Fournier is the tire builder of choice.

Bloody expensive, but a pair will last a casual rider several seasons.
I know from past experience that these tires are a MAJOR bitch to install; usually involving blood loss and loud profanity.
Also a bitch to remove.
Not something you want to do any more often than you have to...

Which leads me to the questions for today:
Is there aftermarket wheel-sets that I could buy and just leave the ice tires on all the time?
Other model wheels that fit the TE511?
Sources?
 
Thanks, R.Stephen!
no 511 is listed on Warp 9 website, can I assume the 449 wheels are the same?

Any other options: chime in !
 
As for installing the tires; buy lots of tire irons and use thick leather gloves. I have 12 tire levers and work the tire around about 2" at a time apying pressure to keep the bead in the rim. It can be done and takes about 45 min per wheel.
