This. In my experience traveling with disc wheels,particularly taking them on and off the bike can bend rotors enough to have a little rub, given the relatively small clearance, which is noisy and annoying, But I’ve yet to have one bent enough to be disabling.

An adjustable wrench from the Dollar General, while not as refined as the Park tool ( which I have and is nice) is more than adequate to get you rolling quietly.
