Threaded headsets are fine, "threadless" bottom brackets are mostly trash and almost entirely non-user serviceable, drop bars and their levers are fine and sometimes better, 2x10 is even cheaper than 2x11 (what's up Tiagra), AL was never uncool except for forks, mostly agree with the rest

- AdrianB1 2y ago> "threadless" bottom brackets are mostly trash and almost entirely non-user serviceable Are you including Shimano pressfit BBs here? Never had problems replacing it, not even needed special tools.
- foco_tubi 2y agoIf you're not considering a bearing press as a special tool (or you didn't use one) then we exist in different worlds.
- fire_lake 2y agoThreaded headsets work, but it’s an inferior design to threadless. There are no advantages to them at all - except maybe aesthetics! The only modern bikes with threaded tend to be low end anyway. Best to avoid!
