OTOH both my bike and trike im sure has computer built wheels. My bike is 12 years old and my trike is 9 years old, and the 5 wheels on both of them are perfectly true yet. I have never had to put a spoke wrench on any of them.
What has been your experience?
I've built few sets of wheels in the last couple of years....but I also have some machine built wheels which have been bulletproof. Never had any problems with any of my machine built wheels.
