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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

new tires

I'd go with a rear (faux) trials tire, not a knobby. A MT43 or Mountain Hybrid has better street traction, and mostly better dirt traction- if (big "if") you're not a tire spinner. But downhill braking and mud will suck. Big bonus: 3-4x's better wear (respectively) than knobbies. Seriously. BTW, both tires are pretty big- bigger than a lot of knobbys.

In the front, a GT 216 AA fatty is great but spendy and heavy. A VE35 is pretty darn good at half the price, with good-to-great traction, and more life.
 
I've been going with the MT21 front and back - I like the 606 as well, just too hard for me to change tubes on a cool, or cold day with that tire.
