I have TRP Spyres actuated by SRAM Apex levers on my Double Cross and they have been fantastic. I have read some bad reviews of them but they work just fine for my application. no, they are not as powerful as the SLX hydros on my mountain bike, but I don't need that kind of punchy stopping power on my commute/road/gravel bike. I like the fact that I can lock them up when needed, which is rare, but they modulate my speed well when needed. I am usuing regular cable housing instead of "compressionless" housing, so maybe that would make a difference.
