Just got my hands on this little purple miracle worker and wow, what a difference it makes! As someone who constantly transports their bike, the wheel removal/reinstallation dance was driving me nuts until now.
The tool's dual-blade design is genius - way better than fumbling with separate feeler gauges. Slip it between your pads and rotor, tighten things down, and boom - perfect alignment every time. No more annoying brake rub or wasted energy from misaligned discs!
For hydraulic systems? Absolute magic. The wedge end makes piston spreading a breeze during maintenance. Mechanical disc users might not get as much value, but for us hydro folks, it's worth every penny.
Yes, you could MacGyver something with playing cards (been there), but this tool's precision and ease of use justify the cost. It's already saved me hours of frustration and will probably pay for itself in saved pad wear alone.
Compact enough to throw in your repair kit, built to last forever - this is one of those 'why didn't I buy this sooner?' tools. If you're tired of playing the brake alignment guessing game, do yourself a favor and grab one.
