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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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!

The first thing I would do is burn or give away the knobby to someone you don't like. Put on a quality trials tire and then see if you don't like the gearing. You will be amazed at how much better your bike tracks in the trees with a trials tire.
if you are clutching it because it might stall try 12 on the front, you will lose a little top end speed. if you are clutching it or having difficulties because the rear is spinning then you need to go the other way like 14. the knobby is fine imo but for sure the trials tyre will give more grip..maybe also see why pressure you are running (try 12-14psi) but beware of sharp rocks, pinches. one other item is the cam throttle (g2?) that eases of the the agressiveness of the husky throttle so you can ease on the power

Sounds like you know what is going on
- CS are cheaper to change and usually the chain does not have to be altered to accommodate
- The larger the CS the lower the rpms at a particular speed/gear setting and of course less torque which would result in less spinning.
The stock tires on the TEs are not the best, and I've had great luck using trials tires but I don't race. I prefer to use lower pressures (8-12psi) when using a knobbie and much less than that when using a trials tire.
Hope to see you around Cafe Husky, welcome!
