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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

I race harescramble and needing a new brand and make of front tire because i enjoy trying something different. What are you all running?? Im on every type terrain racing. Thanks
 
I agree with the above. The 216 is a great tire. I have ran the Fatty for a few years now.
However I am currently running the "Golden Tyre" Desert one 216 DST 90/100/21". Its the same pattern but has a bit taller knobs (15%) when new and it has a 4-ply carcass rather than the 2 ply of the 216AA "Fatty".
It probably suits my conditions here in the AZ desert a little better than the Fatty.
You can't beat either one IMHO.
 
I just gave my used 216 fatty to my brother cause he runs front tubliss, might be better at 6-8psi.
Thinking of the metzler 6days or the pirelli mt16 front. I slso hear the bridgestone m59 is good
 
I had the same experience as "hammer" with the 216 Fatty as well. I thought maybe it was just me weighing in at 245lbs. Lol.
 
I run the M59 or MT16 between 8 and 12 psi on Tubliss at 185lbs without gear.
Minimal roll.
I tend to have the perspective with the Tubliss of this:
I run my normal tire PSI and the Tubliss prevents me from getting a flat.
I don't run super low pressure expecting performance enhancements, just hate changing flats in the field, and carrying irons.
 
I've got the DST on the 449 and AA type on the 250. The DST has well over 1500 miles on it. It's finally starting to chunk off some side knobs from the rock gardens but still carves and tracks very well. I think I have one more in my stash. I did find out that Golden has discontinued the DST so if you want one and see it available, I suggest you grab one. The only thing I've found that the fatty doesn't like is slick moto track. It tends to push and hunt in the wet stuff.
 
I run Tubliss and from my experience a lot of tires that do not perform well with tubes do great with Tubliss. I choose an intermediate desert tire with a stiff sidewall and run 7-8 psi in the front and 4-6 psi in the rear. I have run a MT43 at 80 miles per hour with 5 psi and no stability problems at all. I've tried several motocross tires and if I don't run more psi they will rip side knobs and start weeping slime from the rips. I have got staub punctures on the rear tire several time and with stiff sidewall tire I've gone many miles with zero psi and no loss in performance. I went 9 miles on an flat Dunlop mx tire and the Tubliss kept it on the rim so I could finish the hare scramble but the inside of the sidewall was shredded from heat and overworking it. If you recognize that you have a flat you can stop and worm patch it and if you have a compact bicycle pump you are good as new. The last Sedona tire I used had 3 staub flats before I went with a new tire one of which was so bad I had to double up the worm patch. To me the upside of Tubliss is you can get trials tire grip and mx tire performance out of a long lasting desert tire and fix flats without breaking down the wheel and tire. (a pump and worm patch weighs less that one tube and can fix both front and back.)
