Thanks for the input everyone. I guess the real question is, is the wieght penalty and extra maintenance worth the gain in plushness and smoothing characteristics of FS?

maybe not so much on stravatized, eh, groomed and sanitized xc trails, but with roots and rocks you’ll be bouncing around trying to pick the best lines instead of absorbing the terrain.
but then i’m old and i like my couch too.
