What do you think of the quality of the headtube ? Should I be worried for the bearing and safety ?

I think people are really starting to over-analyse these frames... It's the inside, it does not have to be perfect. Just check if the carbon is not too thin in that place (tap it, push it... )
It's a 500EUR frame for god's sake...

Life is worth more than 500 EUR. (I don't say that the frame is not safe because I don't have the knowledge).

I have never seen this brand. Their last aero bike is quiete heavy (1150 g +- 50 g).

another clue can be the weight, no doubt that EPS molding save the weight (one big layer is better than several small layers), more than 100gr for sure

but if i compare to western compagnies , i have some questions.
For example canyon is famous to build the thinnest (and fragilest) frames (the process is pretty optimized), the ultimate  frame is given for 1050gr(cf), 850gr(slx), 730gr(cfr). if we ignore the CFR which use expensive HM M... carbon fiber, i wonder how can OEM chinese factories  reach these weights with thicker frames (even by using EPS molding). Giant TCR is around 850 gr too, maybe helped by the slopy frame.

With my short knowledges, i understand the following facts: 
high modulus means same stifness than low modulus with less material, less weight but fragiler due to a smaller tensile strength
T800 and T1000 show the same stifness but T1000 is 10/15% more robust and 10% denser
T700 is 20% less stiff than T800/1000 too but slightly more robust than HM carbon fiber
T800 is at least 30% more expensive than T700

So how can chinese OEM factories produce the same weight than a slx with ticker frames, with probably the same fibers (not the same supliers or/and coating), and with a less controlled distribution of fibers? i use to say to an friend who is astronomer: dark matter takes place within chinese carbon frames but weight is missing.

T800 carbon is stronger and lighter and 11% stronger than T700 in terms of tensile strength.
T800 is also slightly stronger than T700 in terms of compressive strength too.

well seen, it seems to be the case , but nobody knows if there is an hole behind the cover

Here is a picture of a replica (not Seraph but it is maybe the same mold for all replicas).

We can see 3 holes.

let me be a bit suspicious about their EPS technology!

Because of the price ?

how do you connect DI2 FD to the battery without drilling an hole?

Hello SRAM  ;D,

You are right :

I have the same concern. I have around 1.3-1.5 USD, I'm looking for a lightweight frameset, I already have an aero bike - Elves Falath Evo. On the table I have: Ican FL1, Winspace SLC3 and Elves Vanyar. At the moment Winspace has 60% of my votes, but I'm still thinking, it's the most expensive. The SLC3 is also the lightest, probably the best build in general, but I'm not sure. FOr the SLC you can have additional 10% from some of reviewers from Youtube. I reject the bigrock, it's not looking very good for me. On same Czech forum, I found Ican, looks really nice, around 6.5 kg in size M.

I wonder if the SLC 3.0 can be as fast as an aero bike. They compared it to the SL8 and say that it is almost as stiff as the SL8 but reviews say that It does not transfer power correctly.

Does the clearcoat without painting is sufficient to protect the frame against the UV rays ?

Hello Leon, can I ask what is the difference between the YHM and YAM line of MTB wheelsets? Should/ can I match between the two, or stick to either one only?

Leon left the company.

They claim 40 % of T800 and 60 % T1000. What do you think ?

14
You mean the minimum insert into Frame?

Yes, you are right.

15
FYI, the min seatpost insertion length is 100 mm with the 380 mm. For the original SL8, it is 75 mm.

Edit : Correction of min/max
