easier to adjust the headset - pfft, you adjust it once and it's done. So you take 5 minutes longer, big deal.
You're kidding right?
I don't care how weak you are ss riding means pulling up a lot harder on the bars and that means flex will be apparent to all but the tiniest rider. For a group of people who claim that 75's are worth the 100+ dollars over rds that they cost it is ridiculous that people would accept threaded. If you raise your stem at all it gets much worse fast.
nope. Threaded really really blow. No matter how stiff the stem is(and it will always be floppier at the same weight) the junction between the stem and the steerer tube sucks. If adjustability was my goal i would take an adjustable threadless over a threaded any day. As it is I get enough adjustment by flipping the stem so it's not an issue.
