IIRC, the first gen Deltas had probems with the knurled locking ring that locked the front covers to the calipers where the cables went in. They tended to crack on owners. The Deltas had other problems with dirt buildup in their mechanisms too. Some areas are not that accessible for easy cleaning/maintenance.....but of course they do look beautiful .....
