Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Soul S4.0 in windy conditions?

I'm thinking about getting myself a pair of the Soul S4.0 deep profile wheels. My main concern is how the wheels will handle under very windy conditions, especially in crosswinds. I don't want to struggle to keep my bike going straight. If aero is too hard to handle in the wind, then I may just get the light S2.0s.

I definitely notice it in strong crosswinds. But it's nothing scary or unmanageable.
