The left side spokes are under lower tension to start with, so the addtional tension due to transmitting your massive power from the hub to rim is not a problem.
On the other hand I have some Easton EA90Sl wheels which are laced the opposite way as these Mavics, i.e. radial spoked on the left flange, and they work just fine.[/QUOTE
I see that as a problem since half of the NDS spokes are actually
losing tension under pedaling torque. An already low spoke tension losing more tension is going to fail faster. Nice job Mavic!
