I used the Delta and worked on them. Reputations get exaggerated by smartarses. The only difficulty was getting the 3.5mm Allen key for the cable anchor bolt.The single pivot model I'm referring to was well before dual pivots were created.
On my mechanical (cable) BB7s that's an issue but not on my full hydraulics.
Switching wheels would seem to take even longer if you have to loosen them retighten bolts. I wonder how that gets done in the case of a wheel change in a race?
