Best I can tell, stock tires and tubes are 445grams/tire and 130grams/tube for 1150 grams on the bike. Minits Light at 170grams/tire and QBP super light tubes at 78 grams /tube for a total of 496 grams, total weight savings of 654 grams (1.4 pounds!) of rotating weight.
Of course, I may be creating the ultimate flat tire machine.
Careful with your tire & tube selections.. the ultra light tube you mention is for 451 tires (not 406 tire size which is stock on the Nano) the Panaracers come in 20x 1.25 (406 tire) and 20 x 1 1/8 (451 tire) .. these are two distinct wheel/tire/tube sizes and easy to confuse the two as both sizes are in the 20" family but incompatible with each other..
