Can someone explain to me the features/benefits of one over the other? After our group ride this Saturday, I went into the tri store of our team sponsor to pick up a few things and noticed that a few "high-end" tri bikes in the shop had threaded stems. We're talking some high priced carbon bikes. Out of about 7 of the same brand 3 had threaded stems, and 4 threadless. A friend asked me what the difference was in performance, etc. and I had no clue. Is one heavier than the other? Is one more adjustable? More stable? I've read a little about the opinions on Integrated and non-integrated headsets but what about threaded vs threadless. Thanks in advance.
