do you think using a 20/24 i could get away with radial lacing?
my road wheels are 20/24 with 30mm kinlins, aerolites radial front/2x rear, on the relatively narrow dt240s campy hubs...and at ~175-180lbs i find them plenty stiff. a fixed rear wheel is stiffer yet, with no dish.
one quirk sometimes mentioned with the kinlins is soft braking surfaces. several mentions of one-ride & chewed up. i used fresh pads when i started using my rims, and only use salmon kool stop. after a lot of (fair weather) miles, you can still see the original machining marks on my brake surfaces. make what you want of this...
