I bought a slc3 and built it with 105 mechanical and elite 50d wheels. In a size s, it weighs at 7.34kg with assioma duo pedals. Your videos really helped me to choose this model and I'm very happy with it. Thanks a lot.
I have recently purchased the Winspace Agile, which is also great. Found out about the brand from your channel. Thanks for the recommendation! Keep up the great videos. Cheers
Thanks, I’m considering the SLC 3. You answered all the questions I didn’t know I had. I switch between three bikes so my T1550 hasn’t experienced bearing issues. I have the black color way. It’s very classy (throw back ish) with the brown saddle. I’ll send you a pic if you left another contact. My goal is to retire my 2012 BMC Streetracer for a modern lightweight climber.
I love the SLC3 - im 77kg so feels like im kind of at the top end of what this bike might want to handle in terms of the handling for the bike but its great and i love it
Yeah feels solid- and I’ve just got back from riding a Gran Fondo in Turkey with pretty terrible roads in places. Lots of hops over speed bumps and pot holes and it was great. Make sure the bung and top Cap are torqued to spec and it feels good but it’s not an aero bike with a deep head tube and thick forks, so does come across a little soft
Mate, it’s common knowledge to run 24mm spindle (Shimano cranks) with PF86. If you know you’re a die hard SRAM guy, you should be riding a BB386evo frame.
I absolutely love smashing hills on the SLC- it is lighter and feels effortless. I raced on it this wkend (flat course) and it held up great but I was always making moves on the inclines. I’m going to drop a spacer out the stem to increase the reach a bit and drop me a littler lower onto the bars. If I could only have one… tough choice, but if I lived in the alps I’d go SLC 🫶🏻
I have an extra 5m spacer on one than the other. They are easy to compare because they put you in different positions, which is the comparison. I could as 10mm to my stem on the SLC but I wouldn’t change the width. So what you are talking about here in terms of difference is perhaps 10mm stem length. Which is 1cm.
There’s better wheels out now than winspace. Farsports have just launched a wheelset that’s the same price but wider internal and external and a lot lighter. Magene are cheaper and better speced too
My friend has the aero version and he says it rides like a dream, better than his old Specialized Venge. You don't get compliments as high as that very often!
It really does ride like a dream and I’m trying to get them both up and running, so I can look at the Sat in the corner while it rained for the next 6 months before Spring 2025
Makes you wonder if the 1550 bb is misaligned somewhat. You shouldn't be wearing out the bb that quick. Unless you have been riding through rivers or doing a million miles😂
Get a Winsapce Agile, best of both bikes, more aero, lighter and more Agiel, 7.1kg with a 53/36-11/34 Ultegra setup and 45/50 wheels, don't belive me, let's meed up for a ride ;)
@rgpeters I see more and more of the Winspace Agile popping up over on youtube. Recently there was one in the HJC social media videos and also in the ASSOS campaign. So it seems like it is getting into all the right places
Lots of differences- saddle and sealant being a few of them. Plus different cassettes and wheels, the seat posts and forks as well. So I think it’s quite easy to see where the difference could be
I think you have to remember that within the cost of SEKA you get handlebars. Which would add $260-300 to the buying price. The SEKA Exceed that A LOT of saddle slip problems and apparently some soft top tubes. I’ve seen the Spear but haven’t had the chance to ride one but looks nice and also light weight. Would be interesting to ride for sure

Gen 2 1550 or Tavelo Arow. Love the look of the Arow a mix between the slc 3 and the 1550, aero with some classic lines as well
I’ve never seen one in person but I know a few people who own them (the Arow) and like them
Does the SLC feel solid? Confidence at speed in corners? Does it feel like you would be confident hopping over a hole in the ground?
Yeah feels solid- and I’ve just got back from riding a Gran Fondo in Turkey with pretty terrible roads in places. Lots of hops over speed bumps and pot holes and it was great.
Make sure the bung and top
Cap are torqued to spec and it feels good but it’s not an aero bike with a deep head tube and thick forks, so does come across a little soft
When riding down on higher speed did you noticed any potential shimmy/wobbling efect on SLC 3.0? TNX for answer.
Absolutely none no, you can just tell the front end is softer with lateral stiffness, so you’ll want to ride it with a firmer wheel (carbon spokes?
Try using my code on top of Black Friday if you decide to buy one
12:30
The 1550 gen 2 is available in raw carbon, either entirely raw or clear coated :)
Naughty!!!! Thats exactly what i need! Carbon clear coated
Hi, for a 14yo guy (racer) what do you think would be better, SLC3 o T1550 gen.2?
Depends on the style of racing but personally I’d go for the SLC for any type of road racing event
My Token Ninja was running smooth after 2 years on my sadly gone Canyon Ultimate, strange you had so little mileage out of it
Were you running a DUB Sram spindle on it though?
@@thewattlife no, on Shimano
@fede1275 Yeah the spindle is narrower so you have bigger bearings which will last longer. Or so the science suggests… and my BB suggests
Mate, it’s common knowledge to run 24mm spindle (Shimano cranks) with PF86.
If you know you’re a die hard SRAM guy, you should be riding a BB386evo frame.
I know, I know. Buuuuuut sometimes we have to make these decisions. I believe it’s called fook around, find out
Splash the cash and get them both built up Max, N+1 😜🤣
Ha Paul you are 100% correct and i will be doing this over winter
Great video
Thank you
How do the bikes compare in climbing? I’m torn between both. I’m living in the alps and like climbing but also fast descending. 😊
I absolutely love smashing hills on the SLC- it is lighter and feels effortless.
I raced on it this wkend (flat course) and it held up great but I was always making moves on the inclines.
I’m going to drop a spacer out the stem to increase the reach a bit and drop me a littler lower onto the bars.
If I could only have one… tough choice, but if I lived in the alps I’d go SLC 🫶🏻
@@thewattlife thanks mate 😊
how can you get a new bike and not adapt stem/handlebar to a different stack and reach??? Impossible to compare as your position is different!
I have an extra 5m spacer on one than the other. They are easy to compare because they put you in different positions, which is the comparison.
I could as 10mm to my stem on the SLC but I wouldn’t change the width. So what you are talking about here in terms of difference is perhaps 10mm stem length. Which is 1cm.
I live in a hilly county, but I'd still buy the T1550. The weight difference isn't that big.
Oufff… I think we’d make the same decision. Gen 2 T1550 in black
I have an emonda sl6 and thinking Aeroad originally but the T1550 gen 2 looks good too
Winspace wheels are better than the DT Swiss ones, wider internal to accommodate wider tyres better
@@matkrek yea, that’s what I’m considering. I can get the wheels first then use it with emonda then get the t1550 frame later
@@Crayonz014 highly recommend trying that, the wheels are amazing
There’s better wheels out now than winspace. Farsports have just launched a wheelset that’s the same price but wider internal and external and a lot lighter. Magene are cheaper and better speced too
@@benhardwick1970 I’m actually thinking Lightbicycle WR50 Turbo with i9 1/1

Small bearings. Ran perfectly for a while, can’t feel it while riding but the bearings definitely need cleaning
SL3 nice bike but man that fork looks narrow. think BB86's are designed for 24mm spindles. My shimano BB86 is still going strong after 29,000k's
Yeah this is the truth- it was always going to be a risk running a DUB on these, but like i said… Sram Fan Boy
Is this raw carbon color of slc?
Yes- the bare carbon model

Is it bad that I tied in hoping to see if I had won the cycle glasses? 🤣
Ha I will be sorting this out this week- hold tight! I haven’t forgotten.
@@thewattlife 😎
Nie jest możliwe że rama jest lżejsza o 700g względem slc 3.0.
Różnica w wadze ramy to max 200g.
Lots of differences- saddle and sealant being a few of them. Plus different cassettes and wheels, the seat posts and forks as well.
So I think it’s quite easy to see where the difference could be
Seka vs Slc 3 vs T1550 vs Canyon Aeroad
I’d like to get my hands on the Seka Spear.
Canyon didn’t want me testing their Aeroad the other weekend 🙈
Seka is a level above Winspace imho. But the paint job on the SLC3 is just lovely.
I think you have to remember that within the cost of SEKA you get handlebars. Which would add $260-300 to the buying price. The SEKA Exceed that A LOT of saddle slip problems and apparently some soft top tubes. I’ve seen the Spear but haven’t had the chance to ride one but looks nice and also light weight. Would be interesting to ride for sure
Seka solved that issue already@@thewattlife
sram standard bb still better than tokken.
I have a spare standard so might swap it out- it’s press fit though
Got my T1550 down to 7.06kg
Got my SLC3 down to 6.2kg
@pigupigu what kind of components you use for the t1550 build? and how much it all cost?
@laurynascekas9403 i had near unlimited budget. One was ltwoo one was ultegra
Which one was Ltwo?
Is it any good?
Which do u prefer bro
a lot of time spent talking about looks. bit odd.
