The gravity dudes do their thing, we do ours. I blatantly copied most of the below from crs-one, so credit goes to him.
Discussion forum for weight-conscious Enduro/AM riders. Post and talk about light-weight Enduro/AM parts, etc. I will edit this post to include all of the parts weights and resources. If you weight shit, try to put it all in one handy album. If you have a resource you think may be front-page-worthy, please include a link to your specific post (if I don't see it in time, I have no clue how to generate the specific URL). Same goes for bikechecks.
The reason for this thread is that the number of riders who rip AM bikes up and down the trail is growing, and it would be nice to have a place to discuss weights where the parts are strong enough for AM but not necessarily tank-strong for DH.

Nice!! I am down. I have nothing to contribute at this time.
Useless post right here.
I think this thread was needed. I will pick up my XT cranks tomorrow, and weigh them before taking them home. Joe, how much weight do you think I am going to lose with my new clamp?
