you're looking in the wrong place to save weight here, buffy.

a michelin ultralight tube is 80 grams...almost three ounces!
a slime skab glueless repair kit only about 10 grams!

leave the tube behind.

.....and the tire lever too....you can use your cutoff toothbrush handle for that.

oooh, and maybe you can cut the valve stems down, too, save 5-6 grams.
just gotta superglue the valve portion deeper in...
