Thoughts on this product, please ( disc brake content )
Hi all,
Never used disc brakes. Don’t know much about them. But I’m slowly learning as a frame I’m interested in only comes in a flat mount-disc brake version. Rather than spending big $$$ on replacing my ETap shifters-brake levers, I came across this item. Seems like it could be a great ( and a much cheaper ) way to build up this bike. https://trpcycling.com/?product=hyrd Lastly, I dont ride in rain and my riding doesn’t include super long steep descents. Thoughts, opinions, experiences and flames welcomed. Thank you all in advance! Steve

I have HYRD flat mounts and they have been perfect. The other alternative is the Juin Tech F1

Probably better than cable disc brakes, probably worst than full hydro brakes.

Key to any mechanically actuated disc brake is compressionless housing. The M-Sys housing I used isn't compressionless, but it's what the LBS had available. I knew they had it because I ordered it when I worked there! ...specifically for mechanical discs! Jagwire and Yokozuna both make compressionless housing that work very well. I've used both on other bikes. M |

Has nothing to do with your needs
It's all about the overall. Function performance modulation lever pressure maintenance HY/RD is a band-aid albeit a decent one but still a band-aid. There was a reason for that product upon introduction but at this point it exists as a corner case for a dwindling population I'm not saying yes or no for you. But be assured it's better than cable but not equivalent to full hydro |

I'd prefer Paul Klampers or would go full hydro.

If you're not riding in the rain, or engaged in steep long descents. I see absolutely no reason to mess with disc brakes. Seems you volunteered these facts for a reason. I'm guessing you thought about this and want disc brakes anyway for some reason that's not baked in logic. Maybe you think they look nice?

also maybe he wants to take up up up to Seattle and ride in some crazier routes? regardless, let the man have what he wants... and he wants hydro braking, none of this half way crap (and I agree with SPP, I think I rather have klampers than hy/rd, and definitely anything over spyres) |

Thank you all for your responses!
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. No other reason. Thought I’d mitigate the cost by not having to replace my shifters.
