Cane Creek was the developer of threadless headsets.. a type which others followed..
A US company Chris King makes sealed bearing headsets.
his company does have a design where the threaded 2 nut,
and the threadless preload are a parts change, on top of the top race.
but it is a much more expensive component..
Yeah, my Trek 800 is done like that by me. I was just wondering if the threadless fork would slide in and if the top end quill parts would just need to be removed for it to work. I want to run a fork with a front disc and they are hard to find in rigid and quill configurations.
