i don't understand why that reply was made on sheldon. you can't use a threadless headset with a quill stem. the threadless headset needs a threadless stem to hold the headset together. i SUPPOSE you could use a threadless headset if the fork is so long that the threads don't reach down to where the headset sits, then use spacers and a locknut on top?
