Non-hydraulic braking

Meta

And if I hate the mismatch then it will be a Tory-esque incentive to WORK HARDER and buy another

Of what, same-sized rotors to braking requirements?

Klamper front and Spyre rear, as suggested by Mashton

Any reason why buying a single one for the front brake whilst retaining the Spyre on the back would result in fiery death?

Without taking the full financial hit, there's a risk you may not be able to convince yourself of their superior performance.

Best to commit.

Heh

Haha! Nice!

+1 for juintech

Have a bike with F1s and a bike with GTs and both have been v low maintenance and easy to adjust and get the feel you want

Klamper front and Spyre rear

I have a bike with a 9000 front and a 7400 rear, and it's cool as fuck.

If I could find a direct-mount fork I'd lean even harder into it. Suggestions for vestigial yet Dura-Ace quality rear brake welcome

More plus for juintech. I have them on my franken gravel machine and they are excellent paired with a rival 10 speed group set.

I'm a mountain biker in terms of brake experience, and have used pretty much every make of hydro brake on my various bouncy bike. I've also dabbled in the world of bb7s for commuters, but for drop bar simplicity and effectiveness, I cannot fault juin techs.

A bigger rotor made more of a difference

+1 for this. Those that didn’t get on with Spyre / Spyke - be interested to hear rotor size and housing used

i had spyres (okay), then juin techs (fine), then had real hydraulic TRP Hylex with were so good i didn't realise how low-maintenance and effective they were. all on 160mm rotors.

Then moved on to hydraulic shimano... big mistake if you ask me. their mtb/flatbar/post-mount is okay the road stuff isn't great.
