TEKTRO MD-C500 Lyra 1.0 M Disc Brake

When building a commuter bike or a cross bike for daily use, we look for "sufficient functionality" and, above all, "ease and toughness" in the parts.

TEKTRO's MD-C500 Lyra 1.0 M is a sleek and sturdy mechanical disc brake caliper that supports such daily rides without fuss.

The construction is very simple and easy to handle, with a single piston design. The major advantage of the wire-pull (mechanical) type is that there is no need for fluid replacement or bleeding, as is the case with hydraulic types, and in the unlikely event of wire problems, adjustment and recovery can be done easily on the road.

Furthermore, the brake pads used are the same shape as those of the SHIMANO B series (B05S, etc.), which are easy to obtain. The fact that consumable parts are easily available at bicycle shops in town is also very important for bikes that are used on a daily basis.

Compatible with flat bar levers (MTB/linear pull ratio), this is a standard wallet-friendly ally for commuter bike builds on an affordable budget, or for repairing and refreshing cross bikes.
