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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

TE511, Tires Questions

Riding the TE511 on dual-sport; gravel, mid-hard dirt and rocks.
Lots of rocks actually, they call em the Rocky Mountains for good reason.

Front tire: I liked the Pirelli XC-MH on the front of the TE310, but have some trouble with tight corners in gravel on the 511. It's an 80/100-21.
Would a 90/90 work better on this bike?
Brands & Model? Needs to be DOT.

Rear tire: again, I liked the XC-MH on the 310.
Tried the MT-43 on the 511, but going back to a knobby.
I think this bike wants a 130 rear, but maybe 120?
Of course the tire shop has 110 and 140 in stock, 120 sold out and no 130 shown for XC-MH.
Is the 140 a good size?
Other choices?
again, needs to be DOT.
 
On my 450, I love the XCMH 140, I have 2 in my garage right now, waiting.....the 140 is a slow turning tire in medium speed single-track, the flowing along in gears above 1st. Almost any 120 works better there. For fire roads, water, mud, MX type of riding, the 140 XCMH is a great DOT tire.
