This makes me want to true all my wheels
 
Apologies if this has already been posted here. It kinda looks like a C&V Ambrosio rim.

That was so beautiful I was almost in tears. And Calvin's harp-style improv at 41:23... genius.

Ah, Erik Satie, soothing video

The counter weight opposite of the valve is too heavy.

WAT?!? Even after Calvin and crew did a video debunking the need for wheel balancing they sneaked in a counter weight anyway? :foo:

Crushed.

I'm reporting that video to the YouTube police.

I'm in a 50/50 split between the rubber chicken and the spinning wheel...I'll not sleep tonight... ;) Well done both :)

At 21:18, the valve was about to say, "screw it, I'm heading the other way." But he had to think about it for another quarter minute before making the decision that changed his direction in life ... maybe forever.

Or the video was shot in Australia:-)

Seriously, though, getting a wheel to spin like that involves a lot more than truing (my opinion, of course).

I wanna know what chain lube they used.

And I didn't see Calvin or Mini-Me wave at the camera.

Although Calvin spinning the wheel by the spokes was so bold, so daring, so... wrong in all the right ways... I'll let the lack of a wave slide. He's like the Andy Warhol of mechanics.

That was great! Now I’d like to hear 55 minutes of a freewheel ticking.

The dropout screws are installed the wrong way.

Add another valve stem nut and remove the cap.
Now I am dizzy, did i just contract COVID?
