I was reminded of one other benefit of threadless the other day when I pulled the stem out of my quickbeam to grease it after not greasing it for longer than I should have. While the stem was not stuck yet, I had to apply a little extra force to get it out. The stem getting stuck is not an issue with threadless. Don't get me wrong I love my rivs that and I realize there are various kludges such as adaptors to get threadless stems to work on bikes designed for quills but for what its worth I have a preference for threadless and having had bikes with both have found no downside for me to threadless. My opinion would probably be different if I liked to change bar height mid ride etc.
