Hi,
After just getting both wheels rebuilt and a brake service it's definitely time to buy a disc braked commuter for wet weather.
Ideally I would like SS and test rode the Day One Disc during the week.

Really liked the bike but the only concern is having to adjust the rear calliper when removing/replacing the rear wheel, I'm pretty inept mechanically.
Wondered if any owners could advise on how much of a pain this is in reality?
Alternative would be to hold out for the new nature boy with it's trick dropout:

(Or say sod it and buy a crois de fer)

Just get the croix, much better and more versatile IMO.0

^^ this. The CdF is already in your conscience which means if you buy the Day One you will wish you'd got the CdF. Rose Xlite Team 3100 Di2

Thanks for the replies.
I had thought that the crois de fer was overkill for my commute but will try and test one tomorrow.
Will be really interested to see how it rides, as there seems to be a lot of love for them!0
