I have been racking my brain trying to find a set of Flat Mount Hydraulic Disc Brakes for Flat Bar Hybrid Bicycles to suit my needs/desires. I would prefer a complete set but I could do individual components also. My FX X 6 comes equipped with Tektro HD-310's. They aren't bad brakes but I'd like to up grade. Preferably to Shimano. I am creating this thread to compile various choices and elicit opinions/suggestions. TIA for your contributions.
I'll start with a new (to me) contender. The TRP. I heard once that Tektro makes them and they are meant to be a a high end unit. I noticed that Specialized uses TRP on their high end Sirrus Pro Carbon. Here is an example. It may be post mount, there is mention of an adapter. I haven't researched them much yet but, they look pretty awesome.
G-Spec Quadiem - Four hybrid piston caliper (ceramic/steel)
- CNC caliper with cooling fins
- Tool free indexed reach adjust
- Adjustable banjo fitting for optimal hose routing
- Split hinge clamp handlebar clamp
- I-Spec b, I-Spec ll (XT and XTR only) and matchmaker compatible with TRP adapter
