Tufo elites are 240 grams for 23mm and 220 psi.
They also make 120 gram 21mm at 220 psi.
Those weights are for rims (lighter to begin with....cronos are 340 grams and strong) that don't need inner tubes and tire liners....only tape.
So as you can see tubulars are much lighter at the rim than clinchers......and probably safer with the extreme tape than clinchers.
Personally I don't need 120 gram tires....the 240 gram Elites are the equivalent on my elite "tubular clincher version" that I loved.
