Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer? We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"-- Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865 - 16 August 1940)

The light blue ones are made of Smurfs.
The green ones Leprechauns.

The white ones come from Angels.
And the black ones from their blood.
The silver ones are recycled from old film stock, now you've all gone digital.
And the orange ones are from the sun.

I'd actually highly suspect rim tape over lap as another contributor. Plus, the seam / pinning process adds some weight.

However, as you've stated he's got an unbalanced wheel, not necessarily an unbalanced rim.

No sorry but I think you're wrong on that one.
The soon to be released tempered glass ones are made from the sweat of warriors, the red are made form the blood of their victims.
And the yellow ones from their bile ducts.
