My wheel..

Creaks! Lol.
Some of the spokes seem quite "loose", However the nipples are tight and the wheel is true.
Is it worth taking it to a lbs to have it looked at or should it be ok?
The back wheel spokes are quite still in comparison.... But I know feck all about wheel building.
Cheers,
Ben

yes."Do not follow where the path may lead, Go instead where there is no path, and Leave a Trail."

could be the whole wheel losing tension

Install the wheel and check that it is also round (ie not eliptical).
A common mistake made by newby wheel builders is that they sometimes get the spokes mixed up during a build. Depending on the hub, often one side requires spokes that are shorter than the other side - the difference being just a few mm.
Did a noob build your wheels?0 -
No.
Custom built from crc. If you read the op, I did say the wheels seem to be true.0 -
Just had it checked, wheel is as true as they come
had the spokes checked and re-tensioned for free which is sweet.
