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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Run a Pirelli MT16 or a Pirelli FIM Pro or even a Metzeler ISDE Extreme at low air pressure to get similar results but with longer life and better hook up in mud and sand. The problem with a trials tire isn't going as much as stopping.

Ditto. Tried this back in the 90's when it was a craze then but went back to knobbies. MT16 are awesome tires, that's what I use now as my standard off road tire. Air pressure makes a world of difference. I'll take a good knobby anytime over a trials tire, except on my trials bike!

The quickest way to kill a trials tire is speed, trials tires hate speed because it builds up too much heat. The next best way is spinning and brake sliding. Dragging the brake into every corner and spinning out will destroy a trials tire in a hurry... They are all about traction and using all of it, throttle control is key.

I ride with Jake a fair amount. He rides really smooth and not all hair on fire but fast. For him and his setup they are fantastic. He hooks up like crazy everywhere. I really like trails tires for a lot of the slower riding. I really need two rear wheels so I can swap between them. I have tore the sidewall out of a few and that scares me to run them all the time. When they are flat they are near impossible to ride. I will run them again I'm sure but right now I am using knobs. I am a brake dragger and harder on the gas that Jake (or than i need to be) but find it fun :>) The Dunlop 803 is near unbeatable for tighter slower stuff IMHO.
