Hydro brake levers for drop bars
Hi all. I'm considering a drop bar conversion on my HT and plan to stick with most of the running gear, including gears and brake callipers (Shimano m395). Just switching the gear shifters for friction bar end shifters and I'd like to swap the current mtb style brake levers for drop bar levers. Do brake only, hydraulic levers exist?? Everything I've found are integrated "brifters" which I won't need given the b.e shifters I plan to use.
Thanks
Thanks

I doubt it. The closest you’ll get would be brake only levers with those trp spykes. Cable operated but hydraulic unit at the calipers end.

TRP hylex

Wow. Didn’t know they existed. So you can!benp1 wrote:TRP hylex
That’s a pretty niche product

I have hydros on my Charge Plug SS CX, which I think are TRP somethings. Look for the Grinduro edition for the spec online.

TRP Hylex are great brakes, recommended.
