Advice please. Following my fairly disastrous fortnight of wheel destroying, I might of mentioned I'm hoping the birthday fairy will remember to get me a set of 48 spoke Chukkers for my 21st in a couple of weeks. Found some in the states at a fairly reasonable price (compared to Brick Lane Bikes anyway).

My question is: Which spoke pattern for the front is best/strongest? Their 'track' radial looks real pretty but is it up to polo? Or should I just stick with the 'polo wheelset' which is laced more conventionally?
(Thanks again for the loaner, Danny.)
