It sounds to me like either the rim, spoke or initial build quality of the wheel is at fault. A well built 36 spoke wheel with good spokes and rim should be able to take quite a bit of abuse before going out of true. Unless you are dropping off curbs frequently, or doing rough trails on a rigid mtb.
