Have you actually done this? Interestingly, I've only ever read negative comments from people who have "received wisdom" that it's a bad idea, countered by "I've done it and it's fine" comments from people who've, er, done it. I have no experience either way, but I'd be interested to hear from people who have done it, and suffered problems.
Personally, low spoke count wheels, radial lacing etc etc ALL seem like a bad idea!
