Radial is fucking pointless, good on them for advising against it, resistance from side to side impacts, e.g. hitting potholes going round corners etc etc is piss poor compared to 3X etc. The only reason I can see for radial is maybe for aero purposes so you can lace bladed spokes dead straight from hub to rim, but even then, I think you aren't left with a very resilient wheel.
