Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Had a bunch of Giants with wonky rear caliper mounts, and there I am with crossed fingers and a damn file, because my boss was too much of an ignorant tightarse to buy the tool.

If the caliper mount isn't dead-on, you're gonna have a bad time.

That's pretty sad.

Facing disc brake mounts isn't necessary on most bikes, but it fixes some issues.
