When I built up another bike a few months ago, I looked at the Co-Motion website to see what they were using these days for components. My thinking was that they try to use the best stuff, even if it is on the expensive side. I noticed the Spyre there too, which helped convince me to buy the Spyre for the bike I was building up. I am pretty happy with that brake.

Agree. I was wondering which USB charger they were using for an $8k bike, that is when I noticed a lack of dyno hub and related gizmos.
