M_V-
sorry but this is real nonsense, if you can't true a rotor or set up brakes properly then get a shop to do it for you

Do you like hearing “shing shing shing” all through your ride and constant adjusting/bleeding of brakes to get them working as they should?
That's pretty uncommon to be honest, it's more pronounced on single pivot mechanical disc where the static pads have to be a lots closer to the rotor.

I am looking to swap my SS for a geared commuter steel-framed bike. My current options are either new Jamis Coda Elite (carbon fork, hydraulic discs and 520 frame, flat bar) or used Ridgeback Voyage (520 frame, Cr-Mo fork, cantilevers and drop bar). Which do you think will be better for year-round riding? I already have Pickenflick for more sporty rides, this one is mostly for commuting, sometimes longer way than just shortest A to B route.
I like drop bars and cantis might make it less attractive for potential thief, but I have heard many bad opinions about their effectiveness. Mini-V might be out of question with mudguards.
