Pinkbike Poll: How Much Does Your Bike Actually Weigh?
it's really hard to get a sub 32 pound bike without going to light casing tires sans inserts, which I'm never going to do again.

Group Test: 14 of the Latest & Greatest Flat Pedals Reviewed
@WaterBear: I've been trying them, and I've found that I can still drop my heels enough to feel comfortable. It's not as big of a change as you might think.
IMO the bigger change that you see is that you're moving your foot about half an inch (possibly more) forward, which has an effect of increasing the rear center of the bike and shortening the front center of the bike.
The biggest benefit for me is I find I have less anterior ankle pain, as the pedals have less leverage on my feet during big impacts. Overall I would say I like them more than most other pedals, but they aren't the end all be all.

Short or Long-Travel: Which Is The Best All-Round MTB?
After playing around with my transition sentinel, I've settled on a setup of maxxis DD tires front and rear, with maxx grip assegai in the front, and maxxterra dissector in the rear with no inserts. With carbon wheels my bike is a touch over 30 lbs, pedals great, but I still have enough support and grip through the front of the bike.
