Bontrager Race Lite Chris King hubs.

Hey everybody. I recently bought a pair of used Bontrager Race Lite wheel.
These are the older model so they have Chris King hubs with Bontrager's name
on it. I just read on the Chris King tech section that their hubs should not
be laced radially. The wheels I have are radially laced. Are these hubs the
same as the standard Chris King hubs? Can I have them serviced the same way?
Are they a special design for radial lacing?? Thanks!

Nice wheels!

I remember reading somewhere that Bontrager asked King to design the
flanges differently somehow to make radial spoking okay. Not sure of
the details -- maybe thicker or taller?

I assume the bearings and axles in the Bontragers are the same as in
regular Kings, but I don't know for sure.
