      Reflectors.

      If the stand is the first time you’ve noticed it, don’t worry about it.

      I fixed this on my MTB tyre by removing it then putting back on making sure the line around the edges lined up perfectly with the rim using soapy water, maybe that’s the issue? Probably easier to see if you spin the wheel slower too, check both sides.

      Out of balance. Remove the reflector first and see if it’s repeated. Can be counter weighted with lead strips (opposing side of the weight say from the valve) if you want to go that route. It can be a fun experience, but unless you’re at high speed, it’s usually not noticeable.

      When it’s on the ground any you’re on it, you won’t feel it. Bike wheels aren’t perfectly balanced because you can’t go fast enough for it to matter

      If the wheel its trueded, the issue its a balance problem, the reflector, remove it. Then see if the wheel reduce the shake. But at some point its normal, the valve of the tyre makes a little unbalance, but nothing to worry.

      Might need the spokes adjusted. I needed to do this on a new wheel, solved the problem.

      I think what people are describing is rotational force which is going to be offset on a wobbly wheel now we don’t see the whole bike
