Doesn't equal out the stress. Standard lacing pulls the hub both ways so the only reason to only have a half radial wheel is because you can't run a full radial rear wheel. Pointless imo, radial just increases the chances of the hub breaking.

+1 on that^
but 1/2radial rear looks so f*ing radical,
think i'ma build me one like dat next time

phil wood flanges can take radial abuse.
