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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

A friend and I decided we wanted to try the hardest Blue Mountain had to offer today. I have a feeling not many small bores have been up these trails as most guys ride 250s and 300s. It was crazy, steep like I've never ridden, either wheely or spin out on a lot of it, combined that with the tightest switchbacks, roots and rock faces. The 165 with a trials tire and 12/50 gearing was awesome. I wish I had 12/52 on for this ride, but didn't have time. I smashed a rad hose on a rock, did a trail repair and kept on going. The bike never overheated, never complained, just rode on the line of spinning and traction feathering the clutch keeping in the torque. Who would've thought a small bore could do it.

The flat ground you see is where we started, and we went basically straight up.

Nice
I rode some hills Sunday too
I had changed to 14/52 and probably should have stuck with 13/52
Had a new rear and it was spinning more than old tyre
What r trials tyres like on faster corners?
Do you find bike was wanting to flip up hills?
 
Yes, it constantly wanted to flip, I think I have two dislocated shoulders from trying to keep it from looping out, I could barely get a shirt on today or brush my teeth. OUch! Trials likes to slide when the brake is applied, and is like a slick on anything fast and a bit slimy.
