I bought new wheels from Hope at the end of last seaon - Hope 3s with Stans ZTR355 rims. They are fitted to my Epic Marathon which is used only for XC and never hammered. I notice that since I bought the wheels Hope have put a suggested rider weight limit of 85kgs - I'm approx 90kgs! My problem is that the spoke nipples are constantly loosening - every 2-3 rides a couple of spokes will be "hanging off" the rear wheel and it will have to be re-tightened/trued! The rims are in perfect condition.
I have Mavic Crossrides on my Boardman hacker and DT Swiss EX 1750s on my S-Works SJ both of which are ridden much harder than the Epic and they never give me any grief!
Should the nipples be loctited? All advice appreciated!

Also did they come with a warranty, try contacting Hope or whoever you bought them from
