I have never had issues with radially laced front wheels, you seem to be obsessed with them failing :-)
They are fine off road and for jumping around on, hardly going to collapse are they (I used radial BMX wheels years ago and didn't get problems yet did far more stupid things on them). Where is their weakpoint anyway, laterally or vertically, I can't even remember?
Tas5777 the crank is a cheap FSA Gossamer external BB which due to being compact has a 110 bcd so I can get a 34 ring on to give slightly less chance of hitting anything when clumbsily going over logs and such.
