- this would have been my recommendation... i bought a set of OPs w/105 hubs from Nashbar four months ago... pulled the wheels out of the box, checked each spoke's tension, trued 'em up, and more than 1,000 miles later they're still fine... and yes, some adjustment was needed!
- i've never had to take a wheelset in for retensioning and trueing as i have the tools (although wheel building is beyond me right now - although i'm working on it)... how much do shops usually charge?
