do u believe that the scooter scene should still be open to having threaded forks or should we go threadless all-the-way?

no we want threaded forks
threadless forks are a pain you need to buy a new headset and compression and insert starnuts everywhere
also that is more expensive to buy
threaded is alot simpler and cheaper for people who are just starting out

aaaaa threaded forks are a mega pain in the ass with the threads stripping and crap, and upgrading to a threadless headset is a way better than the breaking when you do a tailwhip stock headsets. You only need one starnut for compression either in the forks or bars depending on the system your using, which are all better than the threaded compression. And there all really simple to use when you get the hang of it and not that expensive. Threadless forks FTW

you can get a pinch ring and a crown race for.. like 7$ from a bike store and BOOM there's a stock threadless headset (using stock cups, two bearing races, and the pinch ring.)

I hate threaded. Threads dent and become a pain to get the nut/headset off of, they break easier, and... they just suck.

unless they're .120 wall or more, then they're just bulky and heavy,
threadless ftw

breaking when you do tailwhips? i can triple over a flybox sketchy as hell with a stock headset and threaded fork , i can bar to bar, bar to whip, none of the stuff breaks that, the only way i've broken stock headset is like them getting bent, but i love stock headsets.

I reckon we should keep threaded. There are some really nice and good threaded forks out there and not everyone wants to pay the extra money ect ect for threadless. And what is the point if you are fine with threaded forks? Thats just a complete waste of money.

if u got a thick forktube threaded forks are fine but since pro forks snapped no one really tried to make threaded forks better it just went straight to threaded
