i have a 36hole hb7600 i got used that was laced radially and filed towards the inside of the hub for bladed spokes. if you spin it you can see where the flanges aren't perfectly straight anymore, they are a little distorted. I relaced 1 cross to a different rim so I could use the old spokes and i didn't have a problem with it for about 4 months of street riding...I avoid most potholes and don't jump off of curbs that often though. I wouldn't worry about radial lacing it...mainly because of 11.4 and Ceya's replies.
