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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

250-500cc Front trials tire?

I s anyone running a trials tire on the front?I'am currently running a Pirelli MT 43 on the rear of my wr 300 and are happy with the results.I currently run the Bridgestone ed78 knobby on the front and was wondering if it is worth it to run a trials tire up front?
 
I ran a 803 up front once on my 08 TXC450. Was pretty good for trail riding but not robust enough for me and limited stopping power.

The front trials tires don't give enough stopping power in loose stuff. The rears seem to make more people happy than the fronts. I am always amazed at how well the rears perform. I wish someone would build a 3/4 trials 1/4 knobby tire. Cam.
 
I ran a couple of them, the benefit is not as noticeable as a rear trials tire and there are more downsides.

If you try the D803 front watch for sidewall cracking.

Later,
 
Watch out if you ride in any mud or wet grass! You will be on your ear if you even look at
that front brake!! They also pack with mud and will not turn very well.
Been there done that...
Good Luck!
