Yea its like that drop bars shenanigan you were all huffy about. My anectodal evidence is that not a single person i know who has a radial wheel has had a wheel failure because of the lacing. The deep vs are probably a good choice of rim for doing up radial because they are so bomb proof. 36h is stronger than 32h anyway. I think he's trying to accomplish a cool lookign wheelset that will fill his needs of having a bike he likes.

And I think you're arguing just for the sake of arguing and have no idea what you're talking about most of the time.
