Details
Finally a mechanical disc brake for mountain bikes and fat bikes that offers superior performance and is a snap to set up.
The TRP Spyke is a dual sided mechanical brake where both pads actuate providing even and precise clamping force. This translates into even pad wear and, with the addition of a simple cable barrel adjuster, the pads can be adjusted easily and hassle free. No frustration at completely adjusting the whole caliper, only to have it continue to drag the fixed side, adding wear! All of this in a 169g package that works with any of the linear pull levers on the market. The TRP Spyke mechanical disc brake can be used with a 160mm or 180mm rotor. Rotor and mounts sold seperately. One brake caliper for front or rear use per pack.

Hack to fit 200mm rotor
By Ewan
04 Mar 2024
5 / 5
I recommend this product
Consnone
ProsReliable and adjustable
Although officially, this will only fit 160 or 180 mm rotors I've managed to get it to fit a 200 mm rotor by using a fork mount adapter designed for a 203 mm rotor. I'm sure it's not officially sanctioned, but it seems to be working well for me and improves the braking power. These also work much better with Swiss stop disc pads.
I am using a Hope 203mm IS to post mount adaptor and a Hope trials 200mm rotor as I find these rotors a bit tougher and easier to true

Powerful modular braking, easy to set up

ConsLes powerful than hydraulics for certain needs
ProsMechanical, powerful, easy to set up and maintain
I've had a set of Spykes on my Roughstuff Lite for a year now as a replacement for the original BB7s with 160 mm rotors which I really liked.
The Spykes are progressively powerful and easy to modulate and seem to have more bite when pushed hard. The double sided caliper movement means even pad wear and no disc warping which the single sided BB7s were prone too if used aggressively.
These brakes are easy to set up for someone with a little bit of mechanical experience
I'd hesitated with the HR/HD hybrids but these are perfect for my needs
Hydraulic brakes may well offer superior power etc but at the cost (in my view) of vulnerable hoses and connections and more difficult maintenance - you can always carry a spare cable to repair these on the go so ideal for touring and trekking

What is the distance from the inside face of the disc to the part of the caliper nearest the Hub
By Adam Gillett
03 Mar 2022
I have an application where the distance from the hub to the disc is tight and am looking for a slim caliper to fit as I cannot space the disc out due to frame constraints. What dimension is this from the disk to the part of the caliper nearest the hub/spokes? Do you have any calipers thinner than this one?
SJS Customer Service:
Sadly we cannot provide these measures as it very much depended on what hub you have, spoke pattern, etc. in your case the only thing to do Is test fit and check clearance.

Compatible with standard v-brake lever?
By Pete
11 Feb 2020
Hi, will these function just as well with my current Avid v-brake levers or do I need the specific TRP lever to get the best out of the caliper?
SJS Customer Service:
Spyke calipers will be absolutely fine with any standard V brake lever.

Replacing Avid BB5s
By Bob
28 Jan 2020
Looking to replace Avid BB5s on my Boardman MX Sport which is fitted with 160 rotors. Apart from the Spyke units themselves what else do I need to purchase to ensure I have all the things I need to set the brakes up?
SJS Customer Service:
You may wish to think about replacing the cables to ensure the outer is long enough / inners often fray when removed.

How to mount?
By Anonymous
20 Aug 2018
The product listing says that this is only the caliper and it lacks "mounts". What other part needs to be ordered along with this in order to install it on the rear of a Thorn Nomad Mk2 frame?
SJS Customer Service:
For use with a 160mm rotor you will need SJS Cycles part number : 47572
Thanks
