I must say this. I am SOLD on SOUL. Today, i finished a 60 miler climb fest in prep for Death ride and the wheels climbed incredibly well. I even (not on purpose of course) hit a few(several really) potholes that made me cringe, but the wheels remained true, took the impact like an experienced hoe, and just kept on rolling.
The wheels felt incredibly stiff and confidence inspiring while descending down very twisty roads at 34-37mph.
Overall, i'm very happy with my purchase.

The front wheel does shudder when applying the breaks. I have not looked into it yet. Frankly, i'm beaten up, so i will look into it tomorrow. My headset is tight, hopefully it's just a break lose caliper or something.
edited: turns out my headset was loose. Nothing but smooth breaking now


I'm waiting for Sean to publish info about his new rims on the soul website. i'll be getting some of his new carbon rims for my new (soon to be purchased) tri bike.
