After the first 300 miles, I take any new wheel I get to the LBS and have their wheel guy check the spoke tensions and adjust and true. After that they don't seem to ever give any issue for the rest of their life. I've been doing this for the last almost 20 years.

While I use to tighten any loose spokes I found. And also trued my own wheels, I knew I wasn't doing everything correctly and might be winding up with spokes that were too tight. As well, my wheels never seemed to stay true. I could have learned how to properly build a wheel. But for the one time every new wheel it seems to only be needed. I'd never be able to keep my skills honed. So I'm happy to let the people at the bike shop that go through more wheels do it for the very small pittance they charge.

It's why I don't intend to remove my own cataracts either when it comes time to do that. <grin>
