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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

     TE = 2st Enduro & TC = 2st Cross

TE/TC Go Fat or go home

Like johnrg said . Really 15 f and 14 r. Is safer and smarter then what I run. I'm a slight bit of a gambler as if racing or even trail riding I want every slight edge I can get. Lot less chance of a flat with those numbers! If I manage to save some extra ching and actually like his 15 tc 250 I may pop for a complete spare wheel assembly with foam.inserts installed and just use those on race day.

How do I get in on this deal? My 216 is about pooped out at 2000 hard miles. Ahh disregard, I just found the discount code. Thanks!
 
Honda, Kawasaki, KTM, Beta, Husky... I have never seen a world wide competition with such a diversity of riders, all utilize the same front tire.

FIM has the eco tire rule for all the Enduro machines.

Oh yeah this was a GT216AA thread... tire is stupid good. it is especially good where I need it to be in sharp rocks. east sand really well too.

How is the flickability with the wider tire? Do you feel like the width of the tire slows the steering down? I can definitely see the advantages in the desert but i am wondering about the advantages in tight, flowy single track...

I did noticed this slowed the front down very slightly but still my favorite front tire ever and all I ride is tight technical.

It's more a consideration of $. Ty weights in at a buck fifty, races woods/just about everywhere on earth. Always runs a mousse. I would rather run them than my heavy tube/slime combos, but cannot afford them, especially with my three sets of wheels I run. If you don't race, I'd look at other options.

my throw off was that i hooked up my gpr stabilizer so i think im feeling that as well.....i am 90% sure i will disconnect my gpr after i just put it on, i have not used a stabilizer since my 08 txc450
 
I also know that my all new suspension plays a apart in this as well but we have a couple of known sections with knife edge rocks embedded that you have to be really careful when you hit them... the GT216AA with michelin mousse went over with zero drama, mousses make hits feel "flat"/dead, but this is beyond that with minimal pre hit suspension unloading, in other words just slammed into the thing. For tube guys its a tube pinching bastard rock.

Do not disconnect your stabilizer, just set it so that there is no resistance except the high speed.
 
i never turn it up more than 1.5. rarely did i ever go above 2 only in Nat H&H on my TXC450 did it ever see 3 and mostly just 2 even for that.
I think I may need to pop it off anyway to figure out the binding to the left side. to make sure that it is the stabilizer and not the bearing or something else.
 
One thing is for certain I am hoping this tc does not feel nervous at speed cause it will be down the road quick. I'm used to Italian husky that are like a gyroscope the faster you go the less chance you have of crashing. I want a bike I can trust at high-speed. I do like the fact the beta gas gas ktm-husky have not went aluminum frame yet. Offers more flex. It seems like robertacchio has had to spend lots of time trying to get that bike dialed. He must be a perfectionist! I dial my bike for akeley Minnesota (they have had national enduros there) if my bike works there well it will work most anywhere.. then I never touch the clickers again anywhere. I need a front end that sticks . We shall see! The 13 sx 250 KTM I rode felt pretty good but I was in no high speed stuff. If it won't slice and dice like and xlite chassis I won't have it. We shall see. Regardless it sounds like his bike is setup to rail and for sure in his hands!
