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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

All 2st PWK Needle Comparison

Any idea where the DDJ needle falls into thats what mine has in it

Needle code is: Taper angle, clip position, base diameter

So, compared to a CEL, the DDJ has a steeper taper (richer), is 1 clip position higher (richer), and has a smaller base diameter (richer). A DDJ is somewhere between the JD red and the JD blue, approximately. Quite a bit richer than the CEL in all aspects.
 
I tried the DEL needle in a 2-hour hare scramble today. Conditions were really bad (2" of rain, it was very sloppy), so it wasn't a normal ride/race, but I liked it much more than the CEL that I had in before. I do not know how much of that is due to the change in taper, and how much is due to the fact that I was running it on the 4th clip (I had the CEL on the third clip).

About sea level (1,000 feet, tops), 40-45 degrees F.

The DEL had good snap off the bottom and good lug-ability, which I felt that the CEL was lacking. This might just be due to the clip position. I will probably go back to the JD red as a comparison, but I think that the DEL is just about as good, and would definitely recommend it.
 
More power to you... I was at the slopfest for the youth event and packed up to head home around 7 Sat night... What was tougher, the event or the drive out of there?????
 
I was in the morning (C) race, so the conditions on the drive home were fine. The main event guys ended and drove home in the snow...

It was one of the wettest, muddiest races I have been in. Last year's MCI race at Sahara Sands was similarly bad. I think that the conditions at Oxbo were better, the race at MCI was a total trench-fest, the woods were one long 1-foot-deep rut, because it's all sand with no rocks to keep things in place.
 
Ya, part of the Sahara Sands trench was the trail me and a few others cut for the PBER Youth HS the year before and the MCI guys used it for their adult event.. Sort of messed up this past years plans when we went out to layout the youth course, figuring we reuse it, but an agreement was stuck not to poach each others trail this year..
