Are these for flat bar brake levers only ?
interested if they work with drop bars please.
They work well with drop bars - I ran them for four years with Sora shifters on drop bars.
flat mount ? in that case yes please .
Off to work in a minute so i will sort out payment later .
Sorry, the mounting holes are 74 mm spacing, so I think that makes them post mount.
Thanks for your interest.
You can get post mount to flat mount adapters. NB You need to check the disk rotor sizes before ordering those...!
I fitted Spyres to my CAADX. They work well once set up properly, which took me a few attempts to get right.

I think I have a flat mount pair that I bought in error - If you are interested I'll look them out? Sorry to hijack the thread BTW.
indeed
I have them on a road bike and they worked much better once i'd fitted a Spyre kit for the cables to go under the handlebar tape without restricting the cables too much.
@ Roubaix.
You are supposed to use a flexible length of (spiral wound) housing, which has a double ended ferrule on it, beneath the bar tape. You are then meant to use compression-less housing for the rest of the cable runs. Kind of defeats the point of compression-less housings, really IMO.

Jagwire "E-Z bend" housings are what you need. £5 plus postage, for a pair, on eBay.

I suppose you could just use standard brake housing linked to compression-less if you had the ferrules.
I think decent pads are probably the best way of improving Spyres. Shimano resin pads seem to be favourably reviewed.
Also. apologies for the hijack but keeping the post bumped is no bad thing, I suppose...
