• Been messing around with these spyres and not impressed, anyone know of a flat mount cable disc brake that has a bit of bite?

    In comparison My bb7 road on the cotic is great but no flat mount option

  • Cant speak for flat mount but my post mount spyres have been excellent the last few years. Plenty of bite if set up correctly.
    What pads/levers/housing are you using?

    When compared to BB7 and compressionless, they do feel unremarkable (especially since my old Croix de Fer you borrowed were more powerful than my TRP Spyres), no matter how many bikes I have build with them, I can never get a good solid bite from them.

    TBF, I don't think we can get metal pads for Spyres, as that would offer a better bite than resin in spite of rotor wear.

    What about the new Shimano flat mount? the RS305, unfortuantly I have not ridden with it, but the fact it take the same pads as the hydraulic mean you have a choice of resin and metal, and construction look good.

    TL:DR; just give me your damn bike and I'll work the kink out.
