un-threaded forks ??

[james1973]

In my continued search for a pair of Landing Gear forks, im puzzled about the threaded and un-threaded forks bit. How does the headset tighten without threads on the forks?

[theRuler]

the unthreaded ones are for the later (96 onwards) se frames

the stem slides over the steerer tube and that holds it all tight, in a nutshell

[weston]

theres still a bolt that goes down the forks to hold the stem on but the stem tightens on the sides rather than a lock nut

yes 1.1/8 threadles new school and 1 inch threaded old school
