Maybe you shouldnt use threadless headsets on threaded forks
The Headset is made for an 1 1/8 threadless fork.
It is ok if you use it on the bottom cup
but on the top cup on a standard pro headtube and fork the bearings are spinning on the threads.
the threads are not 1 1/8 they are a little smaller.
so you will probably always have a little bit of play in your headset
and with that little bit of play the headset will eventually break.
As my FSA did.

The bearings do not spin on the threads.. Hence why there is a vrown race and cup.
The bearings of the headset never touch the threads of fork for that matter..
