The oldish thread seems relevant to some advice I am seeking.
I bought a lovely like-new tubular wheelset in 2009 off Ebay for my wife's (116 lb wet) 1985 Bianchi Brava (see pic) but later swapped them for a clincher wheelset. The tubular wheelset has 32/32 hole Record low flange hubs, Mavic GEL 280 ultralight rims, radially spoked front wheel, and half radial/half 3x (drive side) spoked rear wheel. I now want to use the wheels myself (185 lb dressed) after converting them to clinchers by simply swapping the GEL 280's with Sun M13 II rims using the original spokes and lacing (spoke lengths look about right).
My question is - will the wheels likely be safe with my weight with the radial lacing?...........Thanks in advance.
