Are there any hydraulic brakes on the market available for single speed road bikes?
I know of the trp but are there any others?
For example is the a non sti lever that will work with 105s?
Basically I want to swap the mechanical disc brakes on my road SS for hydraulics.
Failing that what are the most reliable, best performing (not heavy) mechanical road bike brakes? I currently have Gusett Chute but I’m not impressed - are TRP Spyre or Shimano CX77 going to be better in terms of realisability and less ongoing adjustment?
Also interested in this, tried looking today actually
Want to build a single speed, disc braked, road plus bike
Easiest option is the trp cable actuated hydraulics
I thought Tektro made some?
I'd just get the TRP Hylex
I thought Hylex were the bee's knees?
As above TRP, or keep your shifters/levers and get Hope V twin disc.
I have Juin Tech hydro calipers on my escapade, work a treat.

Trp hylex
Ran a set for almost 3 years in all conditions and not a single issue ..
Sold them few months back too
I haven't done many miles on them, or asked much of them, only really riding on the flat, but about 2 years so far with my TRP Hylex and I can't fault them either.
Well, except for the loose lever pivots, but then they haven't bothered me enough to try to silence them.
You can gut the shifters out SRAM levers. Probably quite an expensive way to end up with a pair of brake levers, though.
Giant Conduct brakes are probably the best value though you would have to get a Giant stem too.
SRAM make left-hand hydraulic levers without shifters, designed for 1x10 or 1x11. They are described as 'left', but could you fit one on the right as well?

The hood shape on the trp's is lovely. It's a little longer and slimmer than sti's.
Very good braking too. I use them on my ss cx race bike and they have been very reliable.
