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.
I'm trying to remember a couple things Here. I don't recall what brand tape she was going to use but she weighed the difference.I think the tape was around 50g (obviously heavier than what you are used to using and again I don't remember what brand it was) and the veloplugs were 24g I believe. Again I am trying to remember so I might be off by a couple grams.
