A lot of discussion on this forum about re-using spokes, but I take wheels apart for a thorough cleanup and re-lace with new spoke nipples (but old spokes and rim) quite often. Never had any issues whatsoever. I do keep track of spokes carefully in four groups so they return to the same flange (left/right) and same orientation (head-in or head-out).
