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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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!
Trail Tube (crescent tube)

I have seen that, not a bad idea. But it probably sprung from the old method of simply ziptying the area with a hole. Basically if you get a flat on the trail you do it like they say, lay the bike over pull the tube, find the holes and zip tie some zip ties on ether side of the hole and put it back in. I hear this works pretty good and at the worst you have to do is stop every 5-10 miles and put some more air in. Some friends were talking about this trail tube and we decided you still need to bring a tube, the spoons and an inflating device so you really are not saving much.
