Just pulled the last one in the thread, but really asking about a point I saw mentioned several times.

I have never had a threaded headset that needed adjustment... is it actually a weakness of threadless that they require occasional adjustment?

The only time I have ever adjusted a threaded headset is when I was repacking the bearings.
