Speaking of frequent adjustments, I've noted with my Spyre that I will start out a ride with great brake feel (no booster!), but after a few big descents, the brake pads have worn, and these need to be adjusted. There is an adjustment knob on the Spyre, but if that isn't enough, a Torx wrench is needed to adjust the cable at its retaining screw.

On the Page Mill descent I was stuck on side of road, looking down at a 12% grade, disc brake barely engaging, adjustment knob played out, the rest of my group waiting for me at the bottom, stoker terrified, and without a Torx. I was in a fix! A climbing rider had a Torx, and it was such a relief to have my rotor back.
There is no way that the vented rotor will fit in the HyRd. Pads are damn close with the Ice Tech I have in there now.
