I don't really want to spend anymore than like, £150 redoing the braking. Even that hurts a bit!
I'm over the Spyres so maybe cable actuated hydaulic will give a little more bite without having the replace the shifters. That way I can just put some new rubber hoods on the shifters, recable everything and it should be good to go for this year.
Most of the time it's a commuter, some wet weather training and then touring (assuming no more bad luck) now that I have the Canyon, so maybe this will be a nice middle ground comprimise with spending lots of money and performance?

I was always a bit disappointed with Spyres but definitely noticed an improvement after switching to (Jagwire) compressionless housing. Also totally personal but I found setting them up with a bit more lever travel felt much better. I also tried cable actuated hydraulic (hy/rd) and didn’t find them that much of an improvement, but again probably a bit subjective this stuff.
Canyon looks great btw!

Fwiw I have hy/rd on my Rove, and Mrs. Dadbike has a Rove from two years prior with Spyres. Same TRP rotors, pads, etc. Her spyres feel better than my hy/rd. I'm tempted to install spyres on mine.
All that said, when I was a full-time mechanic in a former life we carried a few lines of bikes that specced spyres on some models. Spyres feel very squishy with cheap housing. Good housing is kinda the key with those. IMO/ATMO/whatever

What's your budget?
