look up a dictionary "static" basicaly means still.!!!!(pertaining to or characterized by a fixed or stationary condition. )
a static balancer is used by picking the wheel up and placing it on an inverted cone on a needle point. in the horizontal plane. weights are then placed to make the wheel balance level. it dont turn. ie: it is static.
I have used more than a few of them.
Google it. plenty of pics around of the way it used to be done. for that matter it is only in the last 15-20 years that anybody even bothered doing bike wheels. got along just fine before that , if you were fussy you wrapped solder around the spokes. been riding bikes for better than 40 years now, picked up a thing or 2 along the way.
a dynamic balancer spins the wheel and indicates wether weights should be placed on the inside or outside edge of the rim. When was the last time you saw weights put anywhere but the centre of a bike rim?????? given that, even done by machine bike wheels are only simply balanced. it just aint wide enough to require dynamic balance.
I'l give you the rpm but it is still more than 1000 rpm.
110 kilometers per hour is better than 1800 meters a minute. wheel aint a whole lot more than a meter around. gotta mean more than 1000rpm.
