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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Testament to thick tubes

I run those heavy duty tube moose tubes. Was thinking of going to the nuetech tubeless. Well this last ride my friend points out at the end of some tough 40 mile single track "um...did you know you had a flat" then points to my rear tire. I thought it felt a tad better traction that day specifically a around ten miles into the ride. So apparently I rode on the thing flat for some 30 miles and didn't know it was even flat. I will always run those things now
 
I think you should go tubliss or use less pressure in the hd tubes youve got, alot of the riding you did on a flat and didnt notice may be down to stiff side walls of your tyre more than the tube.
 
what tire are you running? Like Juicy says above the tube really should not be able to support anything when flat. Also if you have a flat then you got a flat and thats actually a negative in the HD tube theory. :D Sounds like that tire you run and tubliss might be perfect for you. 3 or 4 psi and go.

Lol- I posted way too early. Replaced tube today. It was totally fine. Just really really low. Where's the face palm emoticon?
