Man, do I hate threadless steerer tubes and their corresponding headsets and stems! What was wrong with the old threaded headsets and the quill-style stems? They allowed precision adjustment of the headset and you could raise and lower the stem/bars without having to take things apart, add/remove spacers, possibly cut the steerer and re-tension the headset. What a pain!

When I get on my bike in the spring, after the winter hiatus, I want the handlebars somewhat higher than later in the season when my body can handle a lower position. I want to micro-adjust the stem/bars - easily - without the possibility of impaling myself on the steerer!

I hate threadless headsets etc.! Did I already say that!?
