they're fine , it's part of getting the bottom line cost of the whole bike down a few bucks..

BB5 the cable adjuster adjusts the outer pad for wear.. BB7 there is a second knob for that ..

and the pad spare is different ..



mechanical discs in general the pad wear adjuster is You.

But, yea new bike component take offs , at the time of build up is a good time to do that,
since the shop has new parts to resell , you get a bit of a trade in..


If you go to the Tandem section , there are fans of the TRP Spyre,
a double acting , ie both pads move into the disc, caliper

and the combined hydraulic in the caliper TRP HY RD in commuting/cross

1 poster talks about his..

I have never held one of either in my hand, so rely on their Recc, if you wish.
