• I have used road discs for 5 years, many of them... Shimano, Avid, TRP, Hayes... I find many comments on this thread completely surreal.

    IMO 90+% of problems people experience are down to bad installation. When properly installed and maintained, they are all above average, as brakes go

  • We can only go on our own experiences. I invested far more time and money in trying to get BB7s set up than was healthy. New pads. Compressionless cable outers, squaring off the ends with a dremel, everything that's been recommended on here.

    They'd work beautifully then. For about 45 minutes and then it was back to rubbing pads or no power or something else. Far too much hassle to persist with basically.

    The Spyres I have now, on the other hand, do work well and, most importantly, don't need constant adjustment.

  • And how are your Shimano hydraulics compared to both of the above?

    I am amazed this debate continues, there is a clear hierarchy of performance and ease of maintenance.
