I was reading Brandt's article (NEW) on Threadless Headsets,
his articles I haven't seen before. I'm still riding a quill stem btw,
and haven't thought of converting yet.
One of the statements caught my eye, and I'm sure he might want
to answer this one.
"When converting from a quill stem, the improvement is most noticeable
in that the entire bicycle seems to become more rigid, especially when
accelerating or climbing hills standing."
I was wondering if this was due because of the large frame size?
I can't see how a headset can make a difference in frame stiffness.
