my build has been a learning experience, particularly with the wheel. Recently, realized i did a no-no. Laced high flange hubs in a radial pattern, cause of concern is that they had previously been laced 3 cross (been riding on them for 4 months now). According to Sheldon Brown's, "If a used hub is re-laced radially, the notches left by the old spokes can act as stress risers, further weakening the flange." Can i have the spokes re-laced to 3 cross and not worry, or do i need to start over and rebuild a new wheel?
