It's true, not that different bikes with quite similar-looking setups can work poorly or work great.

What this means is that there is still room for marketing brake "improvements"

I've noticed a trend recently though, people whose bikes can't start or maybe can't complete a ride, due to issues having to do with tubeless tires, disc brakes or electronic shifting.
