As some of you know, I bought a frame that I am building up as a travel bike. It has a 1 1/8" OD HT, which means it takes a 1" steerer tube. I have a choice of a 1" threaded or 1" threadless headset. As I understand it, the threaded will look nicer since it takes a quill stem, and since I like my bars high (same height as saddle) I will need to use a lot of spacers with a threadless, and need a shim to use a 1 1/8" stem, so it will look a little clunky. But as a travel bike I am worried that those pretty stems like the nitto technomic will be hard to pack since the bars don't unscrew easily (the quill stems that unscrew easily don't give me enough rise). Also, if someday I want to use this fork (its a custom 24" fork) with my other bike that takes a 1 1/8" steerer tube (1 1/4" OD HT) I can buy a chris king threadless headset that does that. I also read that threadless systems are lighter, but is that true if I don't cut my steerer tube to get max height? Also, since I am installing canti brakes, does anyone know it the front brake hanger will mount on either type of headset?
