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...
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.
well seen, it seems to be the case , but nobody knows if there is an hole behind the cover
let me be a bit suspicious about their EPS technology!
how do you connect DI2 FD to the battery without drilling an hole?
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.

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?
You mean the minimum insert into Frame?
