I see, that makes sense.. my only issue with changing to a threadless headset, is that once I do, it becomes significantly more complicated to get the same height on the bars as an extra-long quill stem would give me.
Instead, I have to get the uncut forks... add a maximum amount of spacers, attach the stem, attach some deep rise handlebars... its alot more parts
If I stick with the heavier steel fork, I just plop a £10 high-rise quill stem in there and away I go
Carbon forks with a threaded steel steerer tube? is that even a thing? not sure how much weight im even saving at this point... il have a look at some other solutions
