I didn’t mean effort as much as precision.
A lot of those hydraulic systems are touchy and easy to get out of adjustment.
Yeah, I understood what you meant. A huge part of that “ adjustment” problem comes exactly from the “easy to use” part. A hard crank on a wheel that doesn’t need it can cost you a track, for instance. I remember being warned about the possible cost of doing a quick donut. Same basic rule applies to the modern stuff: the basic rule is still easy/steady. Quick is OK but the soft touch is still a rule to live by.
