sounds to me like you need some better pads. I like kool stop pads with my spyres. Make sure your rotors are clean as well. Deglaze them with a sander using fine grit garnet sandpaper.
Possibly better pads would help*, but even getting the pads to touch the disc feels unusually stiff. Thats why I get the impression the cables has more than normal friction. Im Inclined to try out the road pro kit from Jagwire, but its expensive and id like some confirmation that its actually good before spending more money and more time tinkering with those damned brakes.
*I already did try other pads. TRP stock is semi metallic. I tried Shimano organic. Stopping is about the same but the organics squeal a bit less. No revolution tho.
