Looks like yet another LAME over complicated technology. Pffft. Can't get oil on the rotor using a cable. LOL Looks like a silly lot of holes in that rotor too.
Anyway, I haven't broken a cable since my 1974 Raleigh.
I have 3,000 miles with my TRP Spyre on a 203 mm Rohloff disc. I installed it on a tour, on a 120 lb bike. Didn't clean nothing and the disc was on there 1,500 miles before. Went to a hill and it locked easily first time and every time since. ZERO squeals. It has compressionless housing.
I have long pull SA levers and the gaps are almost a dime. LOL My setup has slots for a horizontal dropout.
My SA drum brakes never made a peep either.

Before this I had POOR one-sided BB5s that also squealed like a pig when wet. Semi metalic pads are a dumb idea, IMO.
