She's right (or very close). Veloplugs only weight about 8 grams for 52. Cloth rim tape is 15-20 grams per roll so a total savings of 25-30 is possible.

FWIW, I have them on one set of Kinlin rimmed wheels. They don't fit as tightly as I would like and to avoid loosing one if flat on the road I have a strip of scotch tape over them.
