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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Has anybody used the Motion Pro Titanium wrenches? I have a serous want for this set:

I bought their forged-aluminum tire spoon/27mm axle combo wrench and the quality seems to be very good. It's surrealistically light. It feels like it would break, but it works great on a boot tightened axle nut.

I bought my self a set of the Ti wrenches several months ago.

They do come with a caveat on the package that warns you not to use any extra leverage on them as they are not as strong as forged steel wrenches. I've used them a couple times on the trail to snug stuff up and they are fun to show off!
The Motion Pro tire spoons are excellent. I have several different sizes. You gotta get the small one that is a dual 12mm on one side and 13mm on the other for rim-lock nuts. The spoon end has a reverse lip on it that looks like a defect. It is for slipping under the tire bead to barely catch the rim and pop on that last bit of tire...you know the part where you pinch the tube.

I got a set of Ti Motion Pro wrenches fro X-mas and they are super light and trick. Just like most things in the fanny pack I have not used them yet. They are superlight but I still seem to carry too much weight in the fanny pack. I really want there multi metric tool next. Most of the times a socket works better than a wrench.
