Edit: I tried TRP Spyres and hated them. Couldn’t get the pad adjusters to stay where I set them, they always rattled themselves out as I rode so I’d start a ride with lovely lever feel and end it with the lever coming all the way back to the handlebar.
My experience is the absolute opposite. BB7s would be adjusted to have good lever feel, then within an hour of riding would barely scrub any speed off with the lever back as far as it would go. Spyres were great, get them set up properly and they were good for months.

I’ve ridden Glentress Black and other similar stuff at Comrie etc on bb7s. I’m using hydros now but kinda tempted to go back to cable discs. I can see me doing so if I have another piston failure or something.
Compressionless outers are a must imo. Funny that Paul advises against it with Klampers as it’ll make them too on/off!
I did really consider Klampers a wee while ago, ended up buying Paul cantis for my Raleigh Twenty instead though. I can definitely see me spending the money on Klampers as opposed to Hopes or something.
The venn diagram of people who say cable discs cannot compare to hydros and people who whinge about their hydros rubbing and leaking is a fucking circle and I will not be convinced otherwise!
