Re: [RBW] Re: Discs versus calipers

"Fiddly" to me means: something needs a higher amount of repeated fiddling-with to achieve desired results than is reasonable to me. Example: Two wheelsets with the same rotor and hub that still require me to re-center the hydro disc caliper after each swap and then one more time after the
