Well I believe handbuilt wheels have better spoke tension, which is a significant factor in lifespan of a wheel. It prevents it from losing true so easily. Also, as far as i know the machines used to build up wheels can't feel the spokes twisting when you are at higher tensions. When these untwist and set in, the wheel looses true
