Shimano 105 STIs 5800
Trp Road Compressionless housing
swapped the original spyre pads out for sintered which are better but still rubbish- Yeh appreciating the bedding in thing and know that will improve, but it feels much more like a lever travel issue, the bite point is so far through the travel it feels weird.
We have a couple of bikes in the shop I work in with spyres as stock and its the same problem on those. I've set it up by preloading the actuating arm before clamping the cable and that helps a bit but still not great

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?
