Understood. I was asking because it was suggested that it was a bad idea to lace radially on the drive side specifically. That being the case it seemed odd for a manufacturer of mavics "renown" for lack of a more accurate word, to utilise that approach on a 500 quid pair of wheels if it was structurally suspect. But if having the non drive laced 2x compensates for the torsional loads on the hub (which 100% radial I'm guessing wouldnt cope well with) that makes more sense.
