I used cheap alexrim da16 wheels with some unbranded hubs at the time I was 220lbs running on 700x23 wheels.

Occasionally the front wheel's spoke would come loose and make twanging sounds. I kept tightening it back up and eventually it just snapped. After getting a new spoke, I took three attempts to tension the spokes myself. The thirdtime I got it right and I never had a problem with spoke tension ever again. The end.
