Looking to chuck a front wheel together, if I buy something like this,

and build it radial, chances of the flanges cracking before noon would likely be...?

It'll crack before you get it up to tension :)

Bit late but years back I built the early disc version of that hub radially. Didn't ride it straight away but got it up to tension. A week or so later it split and part of the flange flew across the room. Bugger.
