droo Posted June 15, 2021 Posted June 15, 2021 (edited) Dismantle wheel, then poke whoever built it with the spokes. Then saw the hub in half so nobody else uses it. As others have said - radial lacing won't hold up to disc brakes due to the torsional loads. Braking will cause a massive increase in spoke tension which will destroy either the rim or the hub (place your bets, wear your knee pads, and hope it doesn't destroy your fork as well). This is also why you won't ever see radially laced rear wheels. A 24 hole wheel should be laced 2 cross on the disc side at least. Sheldon Brown's take if you want some light reading. An engineering paper if you're into that kind of thing, or if you're not but having trouble sleeping. Edited June 15, 2021 by droo MORNE , Danger Dassie and ChrisF 2 1

I am sure they will tell you pretty much the same as what has been said here already. We got 2 sets of Rolfs for the tandem and the fronts are radial and they supposed to be decent wheels but imho they k@k and it mostly comes down to how they laced. Our new carbon wheels we crossed the front twice and haven't had any issues. Two words for you: Tie and Solder.

There are a couple of stores that if named would have been no surprise ... I for one am surprised by this, not that I have any experience with CC.
