i've ridden my track wheelset on the street a lot (because they're a **** of a lot lighter than stupid deep V's, and it's all i had for a while.) i have 28's and everything is radial except the drive on the rear. i haven't had any problems.

however the examples we're all giving are completely anecdotal. sure, WE haven't had problems, but it is not a debateable fact that radial lacing is not nearly as strong as 3x. the fact that we haven't had problems does not in any way whatsoever preclude the fact that the wheels potential for issues is significantly greater. it's certainly not enough to be afraid to ride them on the street (like i said, i've done it, a lot) but it really isn't the wisest choice, and for the life of me i can't understand why someone would buy heavy as hell bombproof rims and then radial lace them for any other reason than the fashion of it. whatever weight you've saved was long ago lost with those rims. (that and the fact that you're going with 36h. seriously, what are you trying to accomplish?)

this isn't meant to be as vitriolic as it might sound, as it's really more of a response to the people who think 'well, since it hasn't happened to me, it can't happen to anyone' is some sort of empirical evidence.
