But then you either have ugly steerer tube protuding atop the stem or are stuck with a fairly ugly, (IMO), product from one manufacturer. For what, exactly? I mentioned above the argument threadless is stronger. A plus perhaps for MTB riders. A properly installed and maintained quill lasts is plenty strong for road riding and will last as long threadless. >From my perspective, threaded to threadless is one of those things where technology has quite obviously changed but with no real gain for the use.
