The service argument makes sense but most guys at TCR rode hydro no? Spyres are great but require careful installation and more looking after than hydros if that means less than £150 to you then Spyre otherwise hydro. Two things that would hold against hydro are aesthetics (dem hoods) and weight. However I'd suggest going flat mount if you can.

Aye, have already asked that, good tip though.

Would love it but its considerably more expensive. 105 groupset for what, £300 then Spyres for ~£60ish? Minus £30 for selling the brakes that come with the groupset, that's £330.
Compared to £480 for the 105 hydro groupset, which i hear has horrible levers?
Also - it is a bike for long distance, so wouldn't a hydro set up be a pain in the ass to service in a pinch?
