I have a radially laced front wheel and have broken 4 spokes in the past 10 months or so and they have all broken at the spoke heads....so I vote for spoke heads out to minimize the amount of stress put on the spoke heads....mine is laced with the spoke heads out though

anyone who knocks radial lacing should take a peek at my wheel set. radial front, radial non-drive in back. had the set for 5 or 6 years, not a single blip out of true. prior owner had it for about that long, never needed a true as well.

his spokes may have failed for any number of reasons. bad build, botched build, improper or lack of maintenance, wrong spoke choice, etc etc etc.

isn't it something like this...
heads in = marginally stiffer
heads out = marginally more durable
3x = appreciably stiffer + durable
heads in = marginally stiffer
heads out = marginally more durable
3x = appreciably stiffer + durable

...i'm not sure why they have broken but they have and mostly right after I bought the wheels as of recently I haven't had any problems....I like radial laced wheels too...I just think that the wheels weren't tensioned properly and that is why they broke
