    i bought a road bike last year and really love it. i noticed a couple of loose spokes on back wheel early august and dropped it to shop where i purchased and got it serviced. i have now only put up 120k since service and some spokes have loosened again . what should i do. is it something im doing wrong. i check tyre pressure every ride. i am a big guy but was told when buying the bike this would not be a problem. i dont want to have to keep bothering bike shop if i can fix this myself but equally if there is something wrong with the wheel i would like to get it sorted. all input appreciated. thank you in advance.

    Find a new mechanic. A lot of them aren't good with wheels.

    In that case it could be rare bit of bad work from them.

    Spokes going again after a repair job is usually indicative of it not being done right.
