Bikes: too many bikes from 1967 10s (5x2)Frejus to a Sumitomo Ti/Chorus aluminum 10s (10x2), plus one non-susp mtn bike I use as my commuter

Some brakes and mounts have the means to not only move the brake sideways to find the disc, but also to adjust the angle so all is square. However this isn't true of all brakes and mounts. In a few cases I had to square up brand new bikes the old fashioned way, using a file.
