you’re telling me that cut threads won’t be able to withstand the forces
If you look at QR clamps, they are usually M6 at least, more often M8. I'm going to assume that the makers are cognisant of the fact that they will be used by untrained gorillas🦍
M5 cut threads would be fine in the hands of skilled, lightweight roadies who could be trusted to keep the seat post supplied with grip paste and not just gronk on the QR with all their might.
There are generic Chinese QR clamps with Shimano-like closed cams, it might be worth trawling through Aliexpress or ebay if you're looking to replace a whole fleet of crappy open cam ones with inevitably destroyed plastic cam followers.

Yeah, appreciate that. No way is that going to happen though.
Just an enquiry seeing as I have an abundance of both, and hate the current design of the qr clamps.
As you’re telling me that cut threads won’t be able to withstand the forces acting on them, and that (if the skewer diameter is correct to cut threads) it’ll be a nightmare to make it work.. then I’ll buy those brandx clamps that freezing77 posted.
Look like they have a brass washer so an improvement on the ones we currently have.
