These ones Ton? They're for V-brake / MTB disc pull rather than canti/road caliper/road disc cable pull.

I use the TRP ones on two bikes and they're great.

Oh, are these not cable operated?
Doesn't say actually does it?
And yeah, possible to find cheaper elsewhere (CRC was cheapest I could find a few months ago)

Uh oh brain fail, sorry.. Ton do you have Spyres? Then you need normal road pull drop bar levers. Not the MTB ones I linked to.

Road pull for TRP discs and make sure you have non-compressible cable outers.
I have to say even with above and uber pads, they still don't perform as well as BB7 mountains with V compatible drop bar levers. There seems to be something relating to the lever ratio that makes the brake very spongy - I suspect the lever arm on the caliper is a little too long (its the same with BB7 roads as well).....

You're not the only person to feel this way so some guy in the US has created shorter arms.
