"Once I'm in the woods this lightweight tire and rim setup is certainly a bit faster but overall there's been no increase in fun factor" - I'd say my fun factor would be severely constrained without the (heavier) tyres and inserts/ coil front and back - it's rarely the bike and weight that is holding me back. Fair play to anyone who can do the weight shaving though but it feels like a diminishing return when riding here on the usual 2hr outings into the dankness.
