Brick Lane Bikes - How Lame Really?

I went in one Sunday after a rim, the woman told me to go back at 5 - so i did, then as soon as I walked through the door she was like "NNOOOOOOOOO" - Pretty rude like.

But, radial lacing is sketchy, a friend of mine has to true every his wheel every week or so, there is hardly any strength on the sides of the wheel, so things like coming off pavements, pot holes, and riding shitty roads can throw them out if you do a few miles a day.
