I have experienced the exact same problem. I recently built a 29er (Chumba HX2) and selected this same wheelset for the bike. After the first ride on the trail, the rear wheel became untrue. Same happenned after the second and third ride on the trail. Have not taken the bike to the trail since. Currently looking for a new wheelset to replace these.

You may just have a bum set. I've got the exact same bike in for review with the same wheels and have pounded them over the past couple of weeks. They are as true as can be. Might be an isolated problem. Anyone else have issues with these wheels? Jason Mitchells last blog post..Giro Xen Mountain Bike Helmet Review
