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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

150/70-17 Tires on the Strada?

Have any of your tried the semi-ADV standard 150/70-17 size rear tires that fit bikes like the GS and Stroms on the Strada?

If so any clearance issues?

Thanks.

Curious, are you going to that size due to availability, or because you prefer that size over the stock 140/80? I don't think I'd give up the 7MM of section height to get 10MM in width.
 
Actually because of the narrow rim the 150 will be slightly narrower than 150 and slightly taller than 70. Exactly how different will depend on carcass design. Should be pretty close to the same size but may allow you to get more road oriented rubber. I have been researching this and front 17" in my quest to ascertain if I can fit a front 17 and keep abs so I have been playing with tyres sizes, profiles and what happens on the std rims. I just want proper road tyres.
 
The rim isn't very wide. With a 150, you'd be getting a lot less contact patch on the road and the profile would be rounder than it should be. You'd probably be able to fit it, but the quicker squaring off and the decrease in traction at all angles wouldn't probably make it worth it.

That said, between manufacturers, sizes differ. If you find a "slim" 150 it's probably nearly the same as the 140.
