I had my rear mavic aksium wheel trued on Wednesday at my LBS.
I have noticed since then the spokes are making a clicking/popping sound, especially noticeable at low speeds.
Should I take the wheel back to the bike shop that trued it?
Sounds like it hasn't been stress relieved: I think the spokes are still wound-up and the noise is them unwinding.
Yes, I'd take it back. The spokes may not unwind evenly, so the tension should be checked.
I'd expect any half-decent mechanic to have done this before giving you the wheel back.
Cheers for the info. The wheel does have a buckle to it again.
I can’t pop in until Thursday, but hopefully that should be ok.

That was my first thought, then I looked at the Aksium I have laying around here and thought surely even the most incompetent shop mechanic couldn't leave wind-up in spokes which are that flattened :)
