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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Race was super fast!! Team ran out of gearing on KX450 quite often. Had a Husky 6speed there, but it sat in back of truck. Kawi ran perfectly all day for a 3rd in over 30 expert. Changed filter twice and ran on same Maxxis IT back tire with mousse for entire race.. Both are trashed now.

I have found something to make the mousse last I now get well over 6 months before I change the mousse The mousse after 6 months still looks good so I but them in the practice bike .I use a lot really a lot of Tire Soap I use enforce brand The one little tube of gel you get from the manufactor is not enough
Check out the video I just did on How to mount a mousse
That being said I want to do Vegas to Reno again fun race did it 13 times But next weeken is another National so I had to pick one Now will try for next year

So how do you know when a mousse is bad? From what I understand they are solid and can't go flat

Heat is the # 1 killer of a mousse the more lube you put on it the cooler it will be Get it hot like at high speeds for long periods and it starts to come apart The # 2 thing is just wear from many races in the ruff, the mousse starts to get soft. At first it feels like you have 13 psi as time goes on as it get old it starts to feel softer
 
We remove them and relube them from time to time depending on rides. I have not done it yet but getting a big tub of silicone lube seems to be the world enduro guys set up. I just have my shop order a whole bunch of michelin tubes of grease for now.
Also the Welshman cleans his and wraps them them in electrical tape to get some life extension from them. Between the 2 of us riding @ 4x per month on singletrack local trails life of the mousse is between 8-10 months.
I have one older beat up one taped but have not installed it yet. If you are doing a Last dog or other type gnarley ride you can throw one of the those semi broken down ones in for super good traction (low PSI type). The euros that do romaniacs etc cut and drill their mousses to soften them.

I know Jordan Brand uses a big bucket of Murphys tire lube.
