Since I ride SS so I post the question here. I believe SS riders has more sensitivity because we don't waste concentration on shifting.

A lot of arguments around stiffness, impact absorbing, and stuffs so I just curious about it.

Which one better is better for rigid fork?

For a rigid fork ridden in a normal manner(ie not jumping off cliffs, or whatever) they can both work admirably. Threadless can be lighter and perhaps a bit stiffer, threaded can offer greater adjustability and they often just last forever. If crabon fribe is your bag, then threadless is the way to go, but if you're a steel (wo)man, then they'll both be great if you don't think about it. Thinking now about my old BMXs and MTBs with rigid threaded forks, and how much abuse I bestowed upon them without thought, or maintenance, they were flawless for years. Now I want an old steel MTB with a threaded fork. To Craigslist!
