Got my primary commuter out this morning - checked tyres + wheels, 2 front spokes have unwound to no tension.
Tightened them up but the wheel isn't true yet and in the time available I didn't get it sorted - job for tonight.

Is there any way of stopping/slowing them unwinding again or is it a matter of just checking the wheels periodically and retightening?

    Yes have them built correctly.

    well built wheels should not have spokes coming lose as there should be enough tension to not allow this to happen in normal use.
