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

Yeah, don't get your hopes up. One week is a bit unrealistic.
I believe my 2.0s arrived in 3 weeks or so after i placed the order. I have a set of C6s that i've been waiting on for a while too. Hopefully it will get here before my next triathlon, I'm very optimistic but it will be really close. =(

In Any case, the wait is well worth it. The 2.0s have been bulletproof.

Thanks guys. Good to know I got to wait a bit longer but that's fine too as long as they arrive before the cold days.

Well it's getting time to upgrade the Cxp22's... My options are Soul 3.0s, Easton EA50 aeros, and Neuvation RX28's. The EA 50's seem to be on the heavier side so it's really down to Neuvations and the Souls... Is the extra cash for the 3.0s worth it?

I dont have any experience with either wheel so my opinion doesn't weight much here. but The SOUL wheelsets have a certain look of quality, a bit of sex appeal. The Neuvations (Again I have no experience with them) seem to look much more simple and plain. When I look through the pictures of bikes and see a bike with Souls it generally compliments the bike nicely. on the other hand when I see a bike with Neuvations, I generally think even though they look ok, that they look cheap and plain. This is going straight off of personal impressions on how they look though and NOTHING to do with how one performes vs. the other. I know there are several people on this site who have neuvations and seem to like/love them. There is a very LARGE group of people who swear by Souls and will only buy Souls. If you care at all about how your bike looks to others, MY PERSONAL vote goes towards SOUL or BOYD wheels over Neuvations.

After looking through this thread no matter what Soul wheel you see they are just beautiful. Not to mention everyone on here seems to love them.

Madone is back on road bike mode now that i have a dedicated tri bike.
The soul 2.0s are still holding true after God only knows how many miles.






This little frame is awaiting the arrival of a set of the new C6s (62mm deep) =P Review and pictures to come =) Should be here in about one week =)
