30mm of travel on a fork that weighs 1215g?
I dont want suspension, but if I did, I would try for a Redshift stem and concede 100g first. If that didnt work, and larger tires didnt work, and more bar tape didnt work, then maybe I would look into a 30mm suspension fork that adds 700g(1.5pounds). My gravel bike weighs 24.5# ready to ride though, so I am already on the high end of things and perhaps am more hesitant to not pile on more weight.
