Threadlock/spoke freeze is a way to mask a problem, not a solution. Spokes come loose because either the tension is insufficient, or the rim is not stiff enough and wants more spokes or the hub flange doesn’t suit the rim… you should aim to solve the problem

thanks. this is the wheelset:

A 650 set should be bulletproof… the smaller the wheel the strongest it is. My guess is that the spokes are under tensioned

I’d agree. Or spokes weren’t bedded / stressed unwound or whatever thoroughly. And worked themselves loose in use.
