I hit 'em with a hammer. Sometimes it works.

A gap or a welded bead? Aren't those rims welded where they join? If
it is a raised area where there is a weld then a small wood sanding
block and some 200 grit should take it down but no too fast. If a
noticeable gap then I would not want that rim.

Is it a Velocity Synergy by chance? That rim seems to have a proud
seam, as Anne suggests, which can cause the pulsing or throbbing
feeling.
you may find that the pulsing goes away after a few rides. if it
persists, and really annoys you, you might consider very, very
carefully sanding it down.
I noticed something similar when I used to have a Nexus hub. At least
I think I remember experiencing something similar. But it seems odd
to me that the hub would have any effect on the braking. And no, I
haven't noticed a difference between when the lights are on. I'll try

I had that happen when I changed forks on a bike. I assumed it was
because the new fork was structurally not sound. Went back to the old
fork and it works fine.
I cannot think why a hub would be doing this. I wonder if the
cantilevers are too strong for the fork?
