@ CAPIN : My daily rider (which the F6 was intended to be) usually has its tyre pressure checked every 2 weeks, my other bikes before every ride. So the pressures never strayed much from 3.0 and 3.5 bar front/rear (43.5psi and 50.7psi respectively, the latter being the maximum pressure Schwalbe recommended for these tyres on normal rims).
My spokes get tensioned every 6 months by the same mechanic that's been working on all my bikes since 2004. He works at the #1 C'dale dealer in my area, which is why I bought the bike in the first place. Never had any spoke issues with the bikes that preceded it, nor do I have any issues with my current bikes. So I'm pretty certain that spoke tension wasn't an issue either.
Besides, if there was something wrong with the wheels, I would have noticed the tyres rubbing against the frame. With only 3mm of clearance to either side of the chainstay, you really need to keep everything in good tune.
TBH none of that really matters to me anymore. I have moved on to a bike that IMO looks just as good and handles exactly how I want it to, so it's unlikely I'll buy another bicycle in the next few years.
