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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

TE 310 vs TE 449

I have a 13 TXC 310 that I bought as a dedicated single track bike to add to my 11 TXC 449. I planned on plating the 449 and usiing it for summer riding. The winter riding here is limited to tight single track with very little elevation change. Summers is high cascade mountain riding with steep long elevation changes and the need for a plate. After much time on both bikes. I am impressed more by the 449. Even in the tight single track it does not feel much heavier or more tireing to ride than the 310. The smooth tractable motor and the smoothness of the cts over trail trash are difficult to describe. The 310 turned a bit better until a friend let me use his hard parts triple clamps set at 15mm. Wow! The bike turned much better,was still stable in the open whoops and made the bike feel more balanced. A properly set up 449 is just as good in the tight single track but when it opens up there is no comparison. The 449 is much better in the open.
Knowing what I know now. I would have never purchased the 310.
Go 449
