TRP HY/RD disc brake calipers bring the stopping power and added control of a hydraulic disc brake system, without the added expense of replacing your dual control shifter/brake levers.
TRP HY/RD brakes are designed to be used with and are compatible with all short pull brake levers.
HY/RD brakes will not work with long pull mountain style levers.
The advantages of a hydraulic system over a traditional mechanical disc brake are the fact that they "pinch" the rotor from both brake pads vs "pushing" the outboard pads into the inboard pads, hydraulic brakes are also self-adjusting to make up for pad wear.
The included disc brake pads with the
TRP HY/RD are made from a resin compound with metal fibers and are compatible will all rotors, including rotors that are labeled as resin pad only.
To make installation and servicing your TRP HY/RD disc brakes easier, TRP has produced a series of video available

TRP HY/RD disc brakes bring powerful and reliable stopping power of a hydraulic disc brake to road drivetrains with the need to buy new costly shifters.
