Depends somewhat on the stiffness of the rims... but I'll assume that
they are pretty stiff. If you are using new Dura Ace hubs, then they
should be ok for radial. These will be your "aero" wheels so low gear
ma****ng is not something you need to worry about... so 2x DS and
radial NDS should be fine. I lace hubs with that spacing radial heads
in on the NDS... the wider bracing angle improves the lateral
stiffness, and provided that you have adequate tension on the DS, you
won't have to worry about the NDS spokes going slack. The NDS tension
will be ~half the DS. Lace the front radial heads-in. Use CX-Rays all
around.
