tubeless tyres + rim strips + gloop = unlikely to loose any weight*
* could easily be proved wrong
That’s what I was thinking.

I got to thinking the same when I wanted to go tubeless, but did it anyway for the snakebite protection- I run a hard tail, so they are an issue for me…
anyway, converted mavic rims and the maxxpro maxis tyres thatI already had and ghetto tubes. I have saved 100grams per wheel. old tubes were apporx 180gram, ghetto tubes ended up at 70g after trimming and cafe latex being the rest.
the wheels feel lighter while riding- they defiantly feel different – got use to it after a few rides- just gotta spin the wheels every few days to stop the sidewall leaking- mine aren’t tubeless type tyres- but they will be when I wear em out.
