Hopes/crests, 18 months old, average of 25miles per week, standard uk trail.
Still feel fine to ride on, should I be aware of getting them looked at anytime soon?
er, when they need tuning, whatever you mean by that. If you mean tweaking the spokes to make them round, then when they aren't round any more. If it helps at all I have wheels which are over a decade old which haven't been touched since they were first built.

Yeah, that kinda answers my question,
I suppose a set of decent hand built wheels will outlast factory built wheels?
Depends how well built the factory wheels were.
