On my back wheel every few sessions the spokes come completely loose. I get it trued one day, and like right now my whole left side is loose, but right side is fine. i don't think its spoke length or anything because thats how dans comp gave it to me. what do you think? maybe the nipples are stripped? I've been riding it since about december

Unless you managed to strip out all of the spoke nipples, which is highly unlikely, you probably just aren't tightening the spokes enough when you true the wheel.

Is it a new wheel? new wheels need to be tightened up every now & then due to the spokes setting in

December is still not that old, considering you probably didn't ride it much due to Winter weather & all
