non-drive side radial lacing on a track wheel?
i am getting a new rear track wheel built, a phil wood high flange (single sided fixed) laced to velocity deep v rim. with 28 spokes, is it a bad idea to have the non-drive side laced radially?

The only cogent argument for radial lacing of the left side of a rear wheel was the tension asymmetry imposed by dishing, which of course is not absent on a track wheel. I would simply lace both sides 3X and enjoy the ride.

If the pronoun "which" has "tension asymmetry" as it's object, then "which of course is not absent on a track wheel" means unequal spoke tension is there, right, since if something is not absent, it is present?
So you are saying that unequal tension exists on a track wheel which requires no dish?
Better check that. Doesn't sound to cogent.

You might try searching the forums, as this has been asked several times in the last month or so.
