My thoughts were that rear NDS bears so little tension and torsion that the precautions regarding radial lacing in front wheels are pretty much irrelevant. DS will still be crossed.

That's true.whats the tension on the non drive side though? Half of the drive side? So say 50/60kgf.
The front bearing bore distorts way before your reach the adequate tension of 95-100kgf for the front wheel.
Anyway good luck with it. Can you let us know if it developed a play? It would good to know

It's for a build that I'm planning to sell, so for that reason I will probably go for the tried and tested pattern rather than experiment... Will see.
