My shop said that not only did one of the caliper's pistons crack, TRP doesn't even make the brake in post mount form anymore, so I guess it's back to cable disc brakes again. 🙃

Today in tk's #seabikes adventures: descending from Phinney Ridge without a functioning front brake. 😱

(The bike has TRP Hylex hydraulic disc brakes. I took it to my LBS after and they said that it looks like the caliper might've sprung a leak and has been contaminating the rotor. I've had the brakes for several years now, so I'm not too bothered.)

It's never a good time when a brake becomes a break. :P

Oh no! I have Hylex post-mounts on my road-ish bike. They are by far the best brakes I've ever owned. Zero maintenance, save for replacing pads, in over 13000km.
