Here is a look at mine. Spyre comes in two versions, post mount and flat mount. Photo is of the post mount on my Lynskey. If the configureation looks confusing, the Lynskey has three bolts that attach a post mount to the frame chain stay, then the brake is attached to that mount. They do that so one frame can use different mounts.

I am not familiar with Revers.

Spyre recommends compressionless cable, which I used. This is my only disc brake so I can't comment on others or comment on non-compressionless cable.
