If @headloss with his background in hydraulic systems considers disc/hydraulic "a headache" where will that leave the average shop mechanic or (shudder) the consumer?

Remember the principle of KISS? And the wisdom of "If it ain't broke....."

Being an old school 'cross racer I've ridden Right_Front, Left_Rear brakes for over 40 years, are the mfs going to accommodate that? It's easy w/ calipers & cables and I'm not about to change.

I am far from a cycling Luddite but will resist the pressure from mfgs to force a complicated, expensive and inelegant technology with no discernable benefit on me.
