[JDBen]

threaded forks are threaded, threadless forks are threadless
threaded headsets are threaded, threadless headset are threadless...

It's pretty much more than common sense.

[Thomas Kananen]

threaded forks are threaded, threadless forks are threadless
threaded headsets are threaded, threadless headset are threadless...

 

[JDBen]

something a n00b puts on a forum, jks

it's on anything that screws in,(eg.there are threads on bottles so the cap screws in)

can someone just show him a picture?

JD Ben, how does a threadless headset work on a threaded fork? What the compression? The lock ring that comes with the stock razor fork?

 

[Stevenson]

Yes

 

[KieranPeterson]

So your saying if i went and got some bike-shop people to replace my stock threaded headset with a threadless FSA Pig Dh Pro Sealed one, i could just keep it on there with the locknut, without any problems? It would work with any threaded fork as long as it was 1 1/8 ?

Yeahh. I'm pretty sure.
