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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Motoz mountain hybrid review.

I've been on Tubliss since the begining and used everything for a lube/sealer. I have settled on elcctrical cable/conduit pulling lube. Works great for everything Tubliss, including initial liner and tire mounting. Semi dries to a waxy consistancy. Clean, cheap, and compatible with rubber/plastics. You don't even have to clean up the rim/liner when changing tires, just paint more on with a brush. Problem with tire sealants is they can dry in clumps on the inner rim and liner and need to be fully cleaned out when changing tires. This stuff is very slick, and allows the liner and even tight fitting beads like on tubless trials tires to slide out of the drop center and seat quickly and evenly. My MMH sealed perfectly first time and has held for weeks now.

This is of course if you don't need a sealant, which in my experience is useless for something like a torn knob or big gash.
 
I know they are heavy, but I have good luck with UHD tubes. Not those pinner HD tubes mind you, the UHD tubes. Baby powder the tire and make sure the rim band is intact and all is good. I have taken on a nail and it didn't lose air until I pulled the nail.

I like the reviews on the Mt Hybrid. Time will tell if one will be my next rear tire, or a 140x18 Michelin M12 XC.
 
i have great luck running heavy 30 dollar tubes inside metzeler unicross tires..good old duct tape 3 passes around the rim, cut out holes for the valve stem and rim locks. havent had a flat in about 200 hours of riding, i do usually put a fresh tube in when changing tires. 10-12 in the front, 8 or so in the back:thumbsup:
