Probably not a factor for most of us but my son's bike is XS size and has flat mount on the chain stay.
So does my current bike, which hasn't really been an issue. (Exact same brakes after I replaced his)
But on the XS size frame it's really really hard to get the wrenches in to align the caliper and then get it tight. I should probably buy some kind of adapter, as right now I have nothing that fits well enough, and I have nothing to get the torque wrench on it.
This of course is not helped by that bike having a QR. It comes out of adjustment more easily than a bike with a TA. Very slight perhaps but the upgraded brakes I put on it might make this worse too.
My old MTB was QR, IS mount, and had more powerful brakes than his, and yet did not have any trouble.
