Well if you go to a Bike Shop they will get it all together, put it on, and even do after the sale service on it..
Yea Mechanical disc brakes the pad wear adjuster is you.. Avid BB7, for example, does try to simplify it with knobs , but they don't turn themselves.
given you needed help there, I'd go with your friendly local bike shop..
I simply replaced my Avid Mechanical brake calipers with TRP Hy Road hydraulic Cable pulled calipers..
I had Avid's Speed dial levers , dialed them back to short pull end of the scale and went on with my life..
a cantilever short pull lever would do.. I'm the Mechanic , and this worked for me.. this winter..
Namedropping Brands; Magura, German, their basic MTB caliper hose and lever, was about what TRP's Caliper was alone
Shimano, the big dog in the industry,
Avid Juicy Avid is part of Sram group.
that's the big 3..
English made is Hope smaller company, color anodized, looks pretty (Not seen much at all in the States)
Real service free is Sturmey Archers Drum brake hubs.. shoes long , never wear out in your lifetime stop in all weathers
My set are over 30 years old the company was sold and bought by Sun Race moved and expanded, in that time period ..
