You should try Spyres or Spykes.
Hmm, I've never used nor even considered TRPs cable disc brakes. All my BB7 equipped bikes are hardtails with 180/160 rotors and they've always performed well for me. I'm refurbishing an old Ibis HT and I'll try out the TRPs. Looks like TRP markets the Spykes as the mtb brake and the Spyres as the roadie version. Their hydro/cable calipers look interesting though.
