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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Kenda Tuff-Tube question

I got some new Kenda Tuff-Tubes for the dirty. The tube has 2 lock nuts on the valve stem and a washer (curved to the tube). Question, is one lock nut supposed to stay on the inside of the tire next to the tube with the washer and one lock nut outside the rim or are both lock nuts to go outside the rim?
 
You will want the curved washer inside the rim, and both lock nuts outside the rim.
 
I like to run NO nut under the rim and one on top but loose so the tube has a slight amount of wiggle room. Regardless of tube brand.
 
I liked to just get the tube in the tire without puncturing it. DOH****************************************!!!
 
I run one nut under the rim and one on top against the cap (NOT THE RIM) or no nut on top of the rim. I leave the nut against the cap just to keep it there to help with tire change. Not to hold the stem at any other time. That way the tube can slip a bit without ripping out the stem.
