Been running the same wheel since I got the bike built, truing it once in a while and never replacing a spoke, still fine. It's a beater wheel, cheap steel spokes, Sachs hub, rigida rim. Survived plenty of epic shots which I used to tag with a marker pen on my previous estate-agent-wheel cover and includes my own mallet strikes. Wheel cover was pulled apart by a pedal but wheel still spinning.
