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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

My mousse/ tire tool (finally) right tool for the job.

Its now mounted on a shipping pallet for stability, along with 5 compound bend motion pro irons (Euro style ones) and motion pro bead buddy. Tires with mousses are a cake walk, lots of good you-tube video of the WEC/ISDE guys techniques. 1st front and 1st rear I was within 30mins total per wheel with removal and to ready to ride (ISDE guys do both in 10 mins, plus air filter!!). Tool was an EBay find, local SoCal seller, put some stickers on for that custom look (haha). After doing/fighting/wrestling/cursing etc etc my first mousse on the lawn..............I had to have this thing and the tools along with it.

Looks Pretty slick. I absolutely HATE changing tires. :) Suppose you just need the right tool. I'll have to look into something like this. You know if it's sturdy enough to get a street bike tire off and on?
