There is no adjusting hydraulic brakes -- apart from lever travel and changing pads. Cable discs are more like rim brakes in that you can adjust the pads closer or farther from the rotor. Assuming you have a super straight rotor, you can set the pads too close, and they can wear to the point where you run out of lever travel before the bike stops. Cable discs are more fussy than rim brakes, but I still prefer them for wet weather riding.
