Well said Bobby. The crux of this particular problem is that SRAM seems to have rushed it's product to market in order to compete with Shimano and meet market expectations. In doing so SRAM seems to have neglected to do enough R&D on the redesign of the "road" versions of their hydro calipers. It always baffles me that companies would rather deal with warranties and recalls rather than make sure the products were correctly designed and speced, even if it means they come to market a bit later than the competitors. Though if they had waited longer they would most likely have missed the opportunity to sell their components to bike manufactures who have speced them on their 2014 and 2015 models. Again, it still baffles me that SRAM chooses to operate under the "quick to market but with good warranty service" model. In my opinion quality of product should be paramount which will help drive sales in the long term. Such is capitalism though.
I've grown tired of razzing my friends who have discs on their steel cross bikes, which is too bad because I took such a perverse pleasure in doing so. It should be noted though that none of them run SRAM hydros, and they are all much more skilled and experienced riders than I.
