Unique Vintage Steel
Apparently I have trouble getting to the right place on their website every time I go. I always end up looking at the 09 or some old edition of it. I've got a set of Psimet's on order, but am kicking around the idea of getting a set of 3.0 wides if I like the wide rim thing for those long days on the open road at speed.

Hey guys I'm planning to purchase a set of soul s2.0 from what I've read they use to use kinlin rims but now use N'litened alloy. Does anyone know if this is a major difference or have any experience? thanks!

Since Sean (the owner) wanted to be a wheel manufacturer rather than just another wheel builder he had to do something to differentiate himself from all of the wheel builders using the Kinlin rims.

Man, I just photoshopped the 4.0's onto my allez sport and they look great! I was deciding on black or white, but I think the white does the trick.
Curious, to anyone with 4.0s, do you think the deep profile of the rim offsets the additional weight vs. a 2.0SL wheel? We're talking over 400g's and I'm just not sure if it's worth it to go from 2.0SL to the 4.0. Most will say, it depends on application/riding terrain, but I'm just trying to see if anyone has considered the same question as I have.

That's actually my Mom's bike. She wore out her Schwalbe tires and I had a bunch of red PR3 tires at the house. The Shwalbe tires were considerable easier to mount.

Has anyone else had issues with their tracking number, i.e. the postal service says that item or tracking number doesn't exist, or does it take a few days for the tracking number to get into the system? Thanks in advance.

Yes, ordered my wheels from Sean at the end of oct. I paid on a sunday night here(so-cal) and got a tracking number that weds. It didn't work and show info till thursday. Same thing said it didn't exist or something. I ended up receiving them at my door saturday. So when it was all said and done only 6 days from when I paid to get at my house! Be patient they will come, haha.

Thanks for the shipping info guys. I've heard they can sit at customs for a bit too, so six days is very surprising to hear.

Custom S4.0s came in yesterday. Haven't had a chance to ride them yet, but that will get resolved for this weekend.
