Note the R1s don't adjust automatically for pad wear - they don't have a reservoir. And yes that's kinda crazy.
How would it be crazy? The pads last ages, and only need adjusting the pads closer to the rotor every once in a while (rims brakes, probably twice as often, maybe triple).
I see it as an advantages as I get a surprisingly amount of customer thinking their pads is fine because it felt fine, while it turn out they managed to almost completely worn out the pads without realising.
Hybrid setups are interesting because - with SRAM leavers at least - they feel better than BB7s/Spyres and whatnot. Technically they shouldn't really though. Note the R1s don't adjust automatically for pad wear - they don't have a reservoir. And yes that's kinda crazy.
