WTD - TRP Spyke mtb brakes (can swap for hy-rd’s)

[polarcherry]

Ideally a pair in fab condition

Got some sypres so fancy trying out the mtb versions

[BobCatMax]

I'm after a pair of Spykes, they're like bloody hens teeth!

I've seen people running spyers with flat bars. Surely the pull wouldn't be right?

[Bearlegged]

There are short pull flat bar brake levers available, they'd work with Spyres.

[BobCatMax]

Like old school v brake levers? Or would they need to be specific short pull flat bar levers.

Everyday is a school day!

[polarcherry]

Spykes do seem to be rare at the moment!

If it helps I can swap a pair of hydraulic post mount Hy-rds for a pair of mint spykes

[fontmoss]

Let me know if want to sell the Hy-Rds!

Cable brake levers (whether for flat bars or drops) are generally classified as long or short pull (the amount of cable they pull for a given amount of movement at the lever).
Long pull works with v brakes and "MTB" disc brakes, short pull with road side pull calipers, "road" disc brakes, mini v brakes, cantis etc.
Spyres will need short pull.

Yep. That’s why I’m after a pair of spyke callipers

Have you tried Aliexpress?
When I was looking for mine I did some wide searches.
They used to be available off there as OE not repro.
Eventually got them off CTC Forum wanted ad.

[BobCatMax]

I've seen extremely well priced BB7 mtb brakes on there, and it won't be long before I get a pair for my ss mtb, but never Spykes unless they're rebranded?

[polarcherry]

Bump - just in case anybody new sees this.

Still need a pair

Watch out with the direct from China stuff. I bought some bb7 a while a ago and when they turned up they were obvious fakes.
