Ok, so it appears that Spyre Road calipers do well with road levers. Indeed, I was satisfied with my Spyres on my drop bars (with TRP road levers) prior to conversion. Completely different story after flat bar conversion. I actually bought a TRP Spyke (MTB caliper) to mount on my rear as an experiment.
Does anyone have any experience with the Spyres coupled with flat-bar levers
specifically designed to work with road calipers, like the two levers in the hyperlinks: SRAM S-700:
