Radial spoking-which hubs to choose?

[garage sale GT]

What hubs have given good results when radially spoked? Please share your experiences, good or bad. I am looking for something in the tiagra/105 price range & would consider ebay. I have some 36-hole rims.

Sheldon Brown says any hub which is forged, but how do you tell if a bike hub is
forged?

I can't help but recall the picture I saw of a radial front hub with several spokes pulled out.

Campagnolo doesn't support radial stringing on their hubs.

I've had no trouble with 32H 105 hubs, front and rear non-drive.

Most hubs would be fine but since nobody else has asked, why radial? Does nothing really except make it easier to lace.

For the front, I like the look (I don't want to argue that that's the ONLY reason, that's just MY reason). For the back wheel, half radial spoking may improve fatigue life of spokes. I have also just decided an excellent reason is that it makes them easier to lace.

However, looking at a hub it is clear there is much less metal for the spoke to pull through if the hub is spoked radially.

I have selected my hubs. Thank you for all the replies. Ultegras were on sale, they come in a 36, and the info said they were ok for radial spoking. Thanks much, NASHBAR. Good price.
