Thoughts on this product, please ( disc brake content )

[Hakkalugi]

I’ve had both the TRP and Yokozuna/Juin Tech with eTap levers. I like the Yokozunas better due to better pad adjustability. As stated above, compressionless housing is critical and is included with the Yokozuna (but not the Juin Tech). If eTap hydro is a 10 for modulation and power, I’d give these a 9. I’m sort of considering trying the new 4-piston Yokozuna, but probably won’t get to it for some time.

Nice, not...

My original post said that the frame I am interested in only comes in a flat mount disc version. Not a matter of needing them for any other reason than if I want this frameset, I have to get disc brakes.

The colnagoc59 post above even makes me tired...

I agree with you. I have 4 mtn bikes and 2 CX bikes with hydro discs and while they're nice, *road* bikes ridden on predominantly dry days? Not needed.

WANT? that's another story.

In my case, it's more about 'I want all my wheels to be cross compatible' (get it?! Geez I crack myself up!) so I'm moving to all discs in the garage. It's going to be a slow process tho. $ are somewhat tight

Cable actuated hydraulic disc is pretty common on tandems and travel bikes. If it can stop a tandem........

c-59 is rim brake . c-64 is disc(still waiting for good weather to ride it which is kind of ironic). Bought it because I wanted a road bike to take to the swiss alps and Girona. I have a firefly but its built to a gravel bike spec and its less fun as a dedicated road bike

A big thank you to everyone who weighed in on this. I now get it!!!

Much appreciated.....

Steep technical descents are a hallmark of a lot of SoCal riding, no?

That is actually a very true statement having ridden up and down many canyons in Malibu, Palos Verdes and other areas of socal.

Have had Avid BB7 for years, they work fine.

Flat mount to post mount converters are available, for example https://trpcycling.com/product/flat-...mount-adapter/. Disclaimer, I haven't used these.
