Freecycle: Tekro Lyra disc brakes

Just the brakes, no rotors or adapters etc but do come with pads.
I've never used them so can't comment on their effectiveness
Pickup E11 or EC3M. PM if interested.

Really surprised no one has taken these. I've had a pair. They're ok.

I've heard theyre actually OK but i dont need em. If they don't go my local bike recycling place can have them.

If you're happy to post them I might take them. I think they'd be an upgrade over my Hayes CX5s until I have the spare cash to go to something like HY/RDs. Happy to pay the postage and freecycle them back onto the forum if/when I upgrade.

Hey @frankenbike had a pm that came in before your post. Will confirm later if they want then comeback to you. Cheers.

@jdmitch are you still interested in the brakes? If not @frankenbike is.

Sorry for not getting back to you earlier... Happy to let frankenbike have them, as I don't think my levers will work as well as I had hoped with these.
Cheers anyways!

You sure? What levers are they?

initially was going to use with some Deore hydro levers, but realising they were mechanical disc, I thought i'd use drop levers, but my (admittedly cursory) search suggested that it requires V-brake levers... happy to be corrected though! I have very little experience with disc brakes, and most of it hasn't been positive!

I think they're for drop bars - I was going to use them with drop bars also!

I've just switched to compressionless outers and my brakes feel a lot better. If you want to take these that's fine by me. Saves the hassle of postage too.

This article says they're short pull so regular DP therefore work with STIs.

Defo for drops. I've just taken a pair of my croix de fer
