John never responded to my counter so I'm not sure if he fully understands how the innicycle headset works. It does not present the 'challenges' of adjusting handlebar height the way a typical threadless headset does; headset preload with an innicycle installed is fixed just as it is with the original threaded headset, regardless of whether a stem is clamped in place or not. Stems and spacers can be swapped around as desired without ever re-adjusting the bearings. Heck, you can do that with a typical threadless system so long as you didn't cut the steerer tube too short, assuming that you don't mind readjusting the headset. So to say that threadless doesn't allow for height adjustment is either being disingenuous or not fully understanding the system, especially in the context of the innicycle headset.

Now, on to your post While there have been a few customers who bought these headsets seemingly just to allow them to run their handlebars higher, I have to believe they considered the quill stem options first and decided for some reason that a threadless conversion would be better. Whether it was to gain access to more stem options, more handlebar options, gain some stiffness, or achieve a different look, they got *something* else in addition to higher handlebars when they swapped their original headset for an innicycle. Of course, if you go to my original reasons for creating the headset, higher handlebars was decidedly not on the list of design considerations so don't blame me if someone truly does use one just for that reason
