Hi,

What's the advantage of a threadless headset over an oldfashioned threaded one?

google in rec.bicycles.tech - they seem to argue this one continually.

rbr answer: if you break a threadless stem during your race, the team car will be able to replace it
quickly 🙂

There are no advantages to a threadless, in my opinion, that justify changing from one system to the
other on a bike that is already built. That said, threadless appears to have slight weight and
strength advantages, and threaded allows quicker adjustment of vertical rise of the bars.

Threaded looks more retro, threadless looks more pimp. Your choice.

who cares?

I definitely care. If the threadless is much stiffer/much lighter and will improve my sprint and/or
hill climbing I would considder changing to threadless. If its only a matter of fashion I will not.
