So within 200 miles of my new Defy 1 (2014) being ridden the back wheel has developed several loose spokes and therefore the rear rim has become untrue (I think more due to tension on the other side rather than damage).
I have just dropped it at my LBS to fix as I'm not too bad at bike repairs but wheel building/ truing I don't yet have a clue.
Is this just something that can happen with brand new wheels? Have Giant built them poorly? I've not had it on the last two sets of wheels (one giant and one 501's) on my other bike. Is it worth a chase up e-mail to Rutland to have a bit of a moan to see if they'll slip me a £10 voucher to cover costs? or just suck it up of course which is what I'm doing at the moment.
