Pair of used TRP HY/RD semi-hydraulic callipers with recently replaced semi-metallic pads.

£50, collect from Stockwell or postage at cost.

Are these still available? What are your thoughts on them compared to just the mechanical versions? I bought a second hand bike recently with mechanical spyres but they’re pretty useless.

Hi, these went a long time ago.

I also had a pair of Spyres that were underwhelming so I went to these. They did work better but I didn't like the amount of ongoing maintenance they require (I like doing everything myself and the bleeding is just such a waste of time). So I went back to mechanical discs, and the only one I've ever been impressed with are Avid BB7s which I now have two pairs of. Hope that's useful.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
