I know that threaded headsets are reliable, of course. But headsets use bearings and as such will occasionally require service. I'd prefer to have a part that I can disassemble (if necessary) on tour with just a 5mm Allen wrench, instead of a couple of tools (32/35mm cone wrenches) that have no

A lesser quibble is that a clamping stem (as in threadless-type stems) seems like a better design than the expanding wedge bolt on a threaded- type stem. Arguably threadless is somewhat stronger - though I have read convincing arguments against this. In any event, threaded is plenty strong
