As far as rotating weight vs static weight.  It depends on the distance from the axle/centre of rotation.  Tire weight is said to be 2X static weight, a hub ~1.1X or less, and pedals and large rotors somewhere in between. However, the on your back weight for when you have to carry your bike feels like it should be 4X static weight, and for some bikepack events like the Arizona Trail Race, it feels like 10X for the mandatory take your bike apart and put it on your back with your camping gear to hike the Grand Canyon
