It's possible that the wheel won't need any work but in my experience that's an unlikely scenario. Machine built wheels are almost always very true (usually far better radially true than I can ever manage) but spoke tension is all over the place. It's much better to have an evenly tensioned wheel than a perfectly true wheel. Good luck with the bike.
