It'd work but the tube would be really weak.
ICS is just as much work as a threaded headset only more dialed.
Save up for some threadless forks, too man.

Yes, the steerer tube.
It stays tightened for about a whole day of riding if you use blue "lock tite".
It's pretty nice compared to threaded but SCS or HIC are your better bets. You won't regret saving up for it.

You use threaded compression for an ultra pro fork........

I think he understands that. He just wants to use a threadless headset with a threaded fork (which is always a bad idea)
Alright, I can't believe the amount of stupid I'm reading.
1: do not use compression with threaded forks. if you do, you're doing the stupidity equivalent of drinking antifreeze. threaded forks only need the threaded nut to compress the headset. If it comes loose, buy a small tube of blue locktite (the color makes a difference) and locktite the threads 1 or 2 threads ABOVE the headset cap.
2: there is no problem using threadLESS headsets with threadED forks. I actually suggest this, as threaded headsets suck.

Yes Daily, you can just use the locknut that comes with it. Simple.
^what Mikey said, and it's superfluous compression when all you need is one nut. It's like ... Using an hour glass when you could just use a watch. It makes no sense to use when there's much simpler things that work just as effectively when done right.

its all personal preference rob, more like a old pocket watch(threaded compression) aged, been around for a while but still works fine vs. a g shock watch(new fancy hic and scs) newer, modern but expensive.
