Hi,

I have a 2014 Raleigh Gran Sport road bike and the spokes are working loose, since buying it new, I have ridden no more than 1000 km on it, some of the nipples won't budge when I try to adjust them to true the wheel, others seem loose.

I am thinking, do I go an get a set of decent handmade wheels, or do I get some decent DT spokes and nipples, then rebuild the wheels? obviously the ones I have were probably made by a machine in China using cheap spokes and nipples..
