Because I race RACE bikes. **** happens.

Yes there is a barrel adjuster, but anyone who has crashed probably had their brakes knocked out of alignment. A simple push on the caliper puts it in a semi OK position to finish. With parts that are all tucked away, you can't make super quick adjustments lets say on your free lap in a crit after a crash.

I would rather have this. Lighter and probably just as rideable...
