Well, that's the rub.
- What if (s)he wants to try more reach by extending out more?
- What if (s)he wants to try Scattos?

Think about how much new and returning riders tinker with their fit.
One thing that will help is a quill to threadless adapter. That should take care of many/most of the fit issues. But, it might introduce a point of flex if you are on the stronger side.
