Put my new 4.0s onto my BMC last night and they look beautiful! Looking forward to riding them later today/tomorrow!

Painful Chafe

Look perfect together. Sometimes the 4.0's look out of place on some bikes, but not on yours.

Mine may look out of place. But that's because my frame is old and tiny, and maybe because I have a brooks

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.

Officially put my name on the list for some 3.0SL's a couple days ago. Gonna be a bit of a wait but i think it'll be worth it reading all of these positive reviews from Soul owners. Should bring the bike into low 15 pound range.

My name has been on the list since the fourth week of last month for the S3.0SL. Currently having a huge dilemma on how to customize it. Here's my bike:

Here's my current options:
Blue Hubs & Nipples with full white decal
Normal Color with full white decal
Normal Color with the grayed/ghost out letters
White Rims black letters
White Rims grayed/ghost out letter
White Rims, blue hubs & nipples with black letters
White Rims, blue hubs & nipples with grayed/ghost out letter

Currently can't decide on which option to choose. Tell me what you guys think.

wrr1020

Are you sure thats available for the 3.0sl. I asked Sean if he had any custom options for decals on the 3.0sl and he said there weren't any.

MNX1024

Yeah, I'm actually waiting on his reply. I'm just more worried about, should I go for blue hubs & nipples or regular color, but decide to list all the options I have in mind.

here are my new soul 62's on both my bikes

Inertianinja

yea, so, over 2 months now. Sean tells me they're waiting for rims after a revision to the mold.

Singapore post is updating too unfrequently ... Damn, nothing since 2011/03/31

Finally got my wheels today! Can't wait to put them on and give em a go.

wrr1020

I'd get something more neutral, if you know your gonna keep the bike for years then go ahead and get it with blue accents. If you wanted to use the wheels on a new bike lets say a year from now with a black and red color scheme the blue will look out of place.

wrr1020

Which wheels are you waiting for?

MNX1024

After contacting Sean, turns out that he doesn't offer different decal designs for the wheels anymore and that there's no white rim for the S3.0SL, .

Anyway, I have decided to go for the regular S3.0SL, the blue hubs & nipples would look weird if I change my frame to something that does not have blue. But I'm also very tempted by the white S2.0. Any opinions?

Inertianinja

the C5.0 Prodigy.
I ordered them about 2 months ago. waited in line, paid, then was told that the rims he received from the mold weren't up to his standards, and he wanted to do better for me.
then i was told that they'd be in by the end of March.
then i was told it'd be a little longer. that was 7 days ago and i haven't heard anything yet.

that said, i'm very happy with the S2.0s i have. they look pretty similar to the Nashbar rear wheel i use on the trainer, but the weight difference is STAGGERING.

wangster

Here are the new S2.0 on the Specialized. They were noticeably lighter in my hands than the Fulcrum 6 that came with the bike. Haven't had time to do a real ride with them but so far so good.

mmamalyga

Took my 4.0s on their first true ride today and I am blown away with not only how great of a ride they are but how different they were from the stock Shimano RS10's I had on there before. Fast on the straights, stiff on climbs, lighter than before AND they were turning heads the entire time.

Thanks Sean!

wangster

Agree with mmamalyga!
My 2.0S have been great as well! They aren't the SLs since I got colored spokes but they are still much lighter than what I had and very stiff. They came perfectly true out of the box and the hubs are amazing. They will spin for hours!

Thanks Sean!

wrr1020

Good to see everyone likes there wheels, making the wait that much longer for me.

wangster

Or it just proves that they're worth the wait.

culallen

My 3.0's are finally on the way! I can't wait!

alexvpaq

They are so light compared to my older wheels it's almost unbelievable.

I hope I'm going to find the time to try them tomorrow.

therhodeo

Any reason why I couldn't use 2.0's as everyday wheels at 173lbs?
