Radial seems alright for me in the front. My Shimano R561 front wheel is radial. Same with the Aksium front. I wouldn't want radial anywhere in the rear, tho.

So it is possible to do distance on fixed. I rode fixed up to the school (GH)... s'alright, just gotta go down from 82 gear inches. Maybe go from a 50t in the front to a 46 or 42.
