The TRP Spyre is a mechanical disc brake that offers superior performance with incredibly easy setup. This is a dual piston actuated mechanical disc brake caliper which provides precise clamping force. This translates into even pad and rotor wear because the rotor does not need to flex to one side during braking. TRP added a simple cable barrel adjuster to make fine tuning easy. All of this in an incredibly thin 40mm, 146g package, that works with any drop bar levers on the market.
Compatible with flat mount frames and forks. Compressionless (linear strand) housing is recommended for best performance. Rotors sold separately.

Stops as well as a hydraulic when properly adjusted and in the "sweet spot" of its adjustment. Mechanical disc brakes are compatible with any mechanical brake lever, are easy to adjust, don't require messy bleeding, and don't care if you apply the brakes with nothing between the pads. The Spyre has two big advantages over other mechaical disc brakes: 1) the pads close from both sides. Most other mechanical disc brakes (especially the really expensive overrated one) closes from one side, pushing the rotor into the stationary pad. They say it's because they can only fit the mechanism on one side. Maybe their engineers just aren't as smart as the Taiwanese! 2) The pads can be individually adjusted with a 3mm hex wrench from either side. I don't even use the cable adjuster, I just use the 3mm hex wrench!
I bought a pair. Flat mount for the rear. Very simple to setup. Lever force required is still pretty high, but the feel is exceptionally firm, even with full length housing that was required in my case. Note that the 1800mm housing supplied with a Shimano cable set is barely long enough if you ride a larger bike with long chainstays.
