I did two MS 150's on a front 28 spoke radially laced tubular(36 rear cross),with no problems, albeit this is not racing the route included some very rough pavement. Art Link,San Antonio,TX

Hi all,
With the talk about restorations and accurate rebuilds I was wondering w hen radial laced front wheels became common and what company first offered them as an option? Where was it done first, road or track? Did the TdF ever not allow radial laced wheels (with regards to our timeline discussions)? I was also wanting to know who has experience building sub-300 gram on topic tubular rims (like Sludi's and GEL280's) and if they can hold up unde r race conditions being radial laced? My intuition says "don't do it" for m y build. Let's say it's a 36 spoke wheel and a 180lb rider although I would welcome other examples of do/don't combinations.
