If you wanna run radial, first only ever do it on the front. Second, get a forged hub, not machined. Third, less holes = better for radial. With 36h there is less metal between holes so it's easier for spokes to rip out of the flange. I'm planning to run radial on my front (on the bike I just posted) once I get the right hub :)

i have a 36h campag low-flange front hub. I was gonna get it laced radially, is there really a problem with high spoke count hubs (spoke ripping out etc.) I'd have thought that the extra spokes would reduce stresses etc. It's only for road riding (no tricky tricky)
