What shop are you going to that has unskilled HS kids lacing & tensioning your wheels? Doesn't matter, find a pro shop. I've always had any wheels I've parted up built by professional mechanics, preferably one who I know has a reputation as a wheel builder.

Then I'll ride them, and bring them in after 150-250k if I can, being at my heaviest 145 if the initial build is very good it'll stay good under me, so it isn't a priority.

ANY wheels that have been shipped should be checked for tension & true, then checked after a few hundred miles, same as any other wheel.
