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

I have ordered a set of S3.0! Can anyone advise if they come with rim tape? Or alternatively what size veloplugs are required (red or yellow). Sean has built them so they should be with me in a week or so.

They do not come with rim tape.

One month update. Still loving the wheels. No issues with them and I've ridden them in some bumpy roads.

I bought the rim plugs that he sells.

MY CAAD10 3 with Soul 3.0
So far I am very pleased. They roll smooth and with 90psi and GP4000s, the ride is on par with my other set. These shaved substantial weight off my bike and whether or not there is an aero benefit I may never be able to tell.
But I feel more aero!

I put the durability of the rear wheel to the test on Tuesday.
I was out with the local club doing the Tuesday race/ride and hit a sharp edged pothole with the rear wheel at speed just coming off a hill. I did not see it as I was in the middle of the group but I sure felt it. Big impact.
The rear GP4000s went flat immediately and I had to swap in a new tube to continue. I thought for sure the wheel was bent or I had broken some spokes, but I checked it on the stand at home and everything is ok.
Which leads me to a question.
If I need spokes can I buy them?

I've read in the past, Sean sending spares to requests for them. You might want to email Soul and ask about this along with the specs.

This is true. After I purchased my S4.0's with white spokes, I thought I'd better get a few extra just in case. I sent Sean an email and some money n' he got them right out to me.

How come very few full carbon clinchers? Looks like most people opted for the aluminum rim version.

Anyone have an input on the Soul S2 vs Campagnolo Zonda wheelset. I'm leaning towards the Zonda even with the 200g more weight.

I had spokes come loose endlessly on an S2.0 wheelset, front and back. The rear hub also arrived badly in need of attention.

Edit: bought mid-2016.

Been my daily wheelset now for almost three years.

Apart from one spoke break a year ago, they've been great.

I'm around 135lbs.

Apparently the most recent s2.0 has sold out. A new version is on the way sometime down the track.

Also been my every day wheel for ~3 years. Haven't broken any spokes and I don't think I've ever had a flat despite living in NYC for half that time (running conti gp4000s). I'm about 180 lbs.
