I build my own wheels. The front almost never goes out of true. The rear usually needs a minor ( ~ 2mm ) tweaking once a year, but only because I beat the snot out of my wheels. On my previous build (which didn't see any harsh unpaved use) I wore down the braking surface of the rear before it needed a truing.
