Hydraulic STI levers

[jowwy]

Are there any available thats not for Di2 - i was looking at getting the Kinesis ATR frameset and transfering the components from my 29er onto it, but can't find any hydraulic levers if i go the drop bar route

Any help appreciated

Won't they be very expensive (being new fangled etc) if there is?

What about some TRP HYRD's instead? (If you can source them!)

Sorry I'm not much help!

I've fitted these on my Croix de Fer and they work well. I got them from fatbirds.co.uk
Absolute piece of cake to set up - took less than 10 minutes per unit.

that does look like a good option

Probably not ever going to be as good as a pure hydraulic option, but best option at the moment for those of us without deep enough pockets for Di2

don't tempt me - cause that is my other option

the new sram red 22 can be hydraulic

TRP also sell fully hyraulic drop bar levers & disc calipers

You would have to switch to bar-end or downtube shifting though.

Or convert to singe speed/fixed. Might be a good option for a winter commuter, if you've got deep pockets.

SRAM do 10 speed Force hydraulic. But it will cost you. But it can be paired up with SRAM's 10 speed MTB mechs for silent running with Type 2.

TRP's cable pull spyre brake is also fantastic if you go down the cable route.
