No kidding. I though my steel fork was light at 935g, but then the sub-500g AME* Alpha Q fork showed up; yikes! We're relatively light at ~280lbs and flex has definitely not been an issue. On tires, never tried a Michelin Pro in the 25mm size, but would note that the 25mm Vredestein Forteza, Avocet Fasgrip, and Conti Gatorskin tires will fit on the True Temper Alpha Q X2 forks.

Note: AME was bought-out by True Temper a few years back ('01). For trivia buffs, the "Q" in Alpha Q is derived from the name of the fork's developer, Dr. Kyu (pronounced Q) Lee
