Being pre-made wheels, I would plan on taking the wheels to a local wheel expert to check the spoke tension etc. Would it be best to do this before riding the wheels or after a few rides to loosen things up?

Thanks,

I can't comment on 32 v 36 spokes, but I did buy that wheel set from Pricepoint a couple of years ago. I took them out of the box and rode on them without a problem. I do put it on the truing stand occasionally, and those rims are solid. I wouldn't worry about bringing it to a wrench, unless you can see or detect a problem.
