threaded forks r weaker cause u have to cut into them to make the threads, but threadless forks require a threadless bmx headset and a compression system so they stay straight with the bars

threaded:
+better than a stock fork
+harder to bend
+looks super gnar
+cheaper
-they're weaker because the bars have better grip on a place on the fork which creates more stress on the fork.

threadless:
+ very strong
+best fork you can buy as of right now
+looks supergnar
+dont have to screw on
+lasts forever if you reinforce
-cost more
-requires a comprehension system
-requires a 1 1/8th threadless headset.

well threaded sr forks suck really bad even if reinforced.

always go threadless if you can, it will pay off in the long run.
