Lose rotational weight?
On the Farley 9.6 that I have has 27.5 Sun Ringle Mulefut 80 rims. [who came up with this screwy name for a rim?]
Go tapeless and tubeless using 4 bottles of crazy glue and silicone.
Crazy glue the rim strip on each side and lay it out thick hence one bottle per side. Ok, crazy glue the rim strip on the inside of the rim only, both sides. Any manufacturing holes in the rim plug with a dab of silicone. If by chance there are leaks crazy glue the rim strip on the outside of the rim with a little air in the tire to help set the glue.
This setup works for me I ride year-round @ 4 k per year.
At times I need to add more stans.
You save the weight of the tubless tape @ 75 grams
Use 4 ounces of stans per wheel. The crazy glue weights next to nothing.
Good Luck

Reason: clarify, word 'strip' for word 'tape' is misleading.
