Congrats on the new upgraded bike!

32 spokes is plenty. Don't worry about it.

I've never had my spoke tension measured. I don't believe it's necessary, but I suppose it wouldn't hurt.

Check for loose spokes regularly and spin the wheels to check that the rims remain true (straight).

Get a spoke wrench (a truing stand is very helpful but not absolutely necessary) to make any necessary adjustments to spoke tension (tighten up loose ones and/or tighten/loosen spokes as needed to true the wheel) or take to the shop and let them do it.
