The complexity is in the system design, and the difficulty is in the setup process.
If we accept that anything on a bike is hard to do— something I think we must— then I’d say that canti setup is probably the hardest. They can be more finicky and sensitive than front derailleurs….and there are four of them to **** with.
Seat height adjustment is easy. Perfect canti adjustment is difficult.
And to be clear, not all cantis are same; some are more complex or more difficult than others. Good riddance to them all, though.
