They talk about balancing the wheel (around 4:12).

Would it make sense to balance the wheel of a bike?
When the bike is on the stand, and pedalling.
It start to shake front/back. The wheel is clearly not balanced.

It could be about the valve too, as he says in the video.
But I didn't try with the tyre out.

imo trued wheel with not damaged tire needn't any balancing as RPM usually too low

Last week I thought about this, when filling my tyres with sealant. All the liquid is at the bottom of the wheel/tyre. So, it's really not balanced :)

Beautiful carbon wheel for the automobile!  Would hate to hit a pot hole or even a small curb with those wheels, although he says they can be repaired.  Not by a normal wheel guy though :).

 Also, I was skeptical that it would hold up to 600°F+ braking temperatures but he says that was one of the big things they worked on and were able to overcome.
