She told me the velocity wheel was lighter. Dont know if that was to throw me off while riding them. They used different hubs, but that weight is in the center where you wouldn't feel much difference in weight. I'll ask her today.
Not sure what you mean by the velo plugs will save you 30 g. Most popular rim tapes only weigh 34 g altogether, so it will be hard to save 30. Maybe the plugs are that light, but I don't think so. I tried them and found the rough edges cut my tubes. Had to abandon them. A good example of going one step of lightening too far. Just my experience. Otherwise I really liked them. Tremendously convenient for getting at one spoke.
