I have had my Cube Agree GTC pro for about 5 weeks now..ive noticed the wheels are now slightly out of true...this I will get sorted with the forthcoming first service. However the rear wheel suffers from loose spokes...I make sure all are tight before a ride and invariably on return there is a least one that is almost completely out of its rim locator...what can I do to stop the coming loose?

oh...I am on the wrong side of 16stone at 6ft...so i'm guessing this may be a factor?

Your weight is nothing to do with it. The wheels have been badly built.

Don't bother waiting, take it back to where you bought it and insist they fix it. Properly-built wheels last for years without truing.

Yep. This.

I had this with my new bike, local shop went over them and checked all spokes were tight and wheel true. They've not been touched since and are still good after 7500 miles.
