Larger diameter head tube will be stiffer and make the steering of the bike faster and more agile.
Some folks find steering with such headtubes twitchy though. Mostly though it'll depend on the builder and his philosophy on how the bike should handle.
Makes sense. Thank you.
... and indeed I see advantages of threadless headsets. But some of the criticism puzzles me.
No doubt threadless headsets have adventages, but how can you have a classic road bike without quill stem? Besides, correct me if I'm wrong, but a threadless stem and fork can be installed with a help of an adapter, if needed in the future.
And the criticism of Jobst Brandt sounds a bit overboard, doesn't it.
