Look all I'm saying is balancing bicycle wheels is important to high speed handling, rolling efficiency and above all SAFETEY! Again let me make it very clear, just because you don't feel the bike shaking under you when you are riding with unbalanced wheels, does not mean your're loosing a tremendous amount of watts because of it. Your idea that balance is Snake Oil and a farce, just because you don't feel the bike shaking under you at speed is nothing. Again, let me make it clear, just because you do not feel the aerodynamics working for you when you are riding your bike does not mean its saving you (the rider) a lot of watts. That I'm sure you're an expert at and totally agree because now that idea is now scientifically proven. But before aerodynamic on bikes was proven, people like you resisted just like you are resisting balance now.
But soon history will prove that wheel balance will save you more watts then current aerodynamic technology. History will also prove that if you combine Aerodynamic technology with Balance, the new evolution of the modern wheel will be born. By the way, isn't that how F-1 cars are made, aerodynamics and perfect balance?
I'll tell you what? When this is all set and done, and history proves you or me wrong... You owe me a steak & lobster dinner, or a Sushi dinner of my liking and if I'm wrong then I'll treat you to a dinner of your choice, the limit being $150 bucks.
So lets stop the arguing and let history prove either of us wrong.

PS, people also told me Bar-Ends were a farce. Now 1.5 ~ 3 million are made a month, depending on demand, sure most is for low end bikes, but a lot is still alive for high end bikes too.
