TRP Hylex are great. Though to be honest I have mine paired to Shimano post mount calipers.

That they only come mated to flat mount calipers now to serve flat mount frames kind of sux. But, whatever. All indications are they think post mount & IS mount bike frames are for losers...or something. They were unavailable for long enough due to supply chain issues they lost a sale from me. I cobbled mine together second-hand after 18 months of searching & patiently waiting. So, it's their loss, really.

It does seem that being unavailable in post mount seems like a missed opportunity to serve a huge swath of market.

Gevenalle shifters are pretty awesome. Even if the indexing is never as precise as I'd like. The friction mode & location more than makes up for it. Don't waste your time getting on their email list to be notified for hydraulic post mount brake availability. It'll never happen since they are dependent on the whims of another and TRP would rather you use Shimano post mount calipers than sell you their own or meet their customers needs.

SMH.
