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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Which Direction to Mount 772s?

My son gave me a Kenda Parker DT (772) rear tire for my birthday (great kid!) and I'm not sure which direct to mount it, intermediate or hard terrain. Most of my riding is in the desert (Johnson Valley, Corral Canyon, Red Mountain) which would indicate the hard terrain mounting but I've seen conflicting posts elsewhere regarding the effectiveness of that position even in the desert. Anyone have any experiences they care to pass on?

I'm planning on buying the same tire for the front (replacing a Pirelli XCMH) so any thoughts on that tire would also be appreciated.
 
Most my dez friends mount those intermediate. Say the compound sticks well to hard pack in either direction but the intermediate does better in the silt. Never ran the tire myself.
 
I put them on my 450, and mounted them in the hard terrain direction. I ride McCain and Corral Canyon and up by Big Bear.
