Have factory built wheels have they caught up with hand built wheels in terms of quality tension etc? I still choose hand built wheels but it seems to me more people are going with the factory option.

I check the spoke tension on factory wheels and adjust them if necessary. ;)

i have had a set of Sun chargers and then charger pros on my Trance X, I am a 220lb Cat1 DHer and they have stayed true with great tension for several years, even missing spokes at times. Needless to say I don't worry about factory built wheels.
