Not at all, mate! Honestly - it's not like I'm getting an influx of comments that I'd have a hard time keeping up with. :-) Thank you for jumping in.

Nah, that's the first thing I did - ask them for a swap. They:

Only offer post-mount calipers
Wouldn't suggest a swap to me, because I bought the Sirrus 3 from them and it is still under warranty.

Their stance is basically - 'If you come back with a brake set, we'd swap it for you, but we can't suggest a replacement'

Hey fedi-bikers!

I need help finding good hydraulic disc brakes with flat-mount calipers for my Specialized Sirrus 3.0.

It came with Tektro HD-R280 front- and rear flat-mount calipers, but I'm not quite satisfied with the stopping efficiency. I'm used to a lot more from years of riding my previous MTB which featured Shimano post-mount calipers.

The guy at the local bike shop explained to me that the factory Tektros were actually quite mediocre calipers, so I weren't to expect anything near to approximating the stopping power of my MTB's Shimanos.

So far I've identified these flat-mount Shimano models:

Shimano SLX BR-M7110
Shimano XT BR-M8110
Shimano XTR BR-M9110

... but most sites that have them in stock offer just the calipers, and I need the whole front-, or rear- or both sets, including calipers, pads, levers, hoses, adapters (if needed), because if I purchased just the calipers, they most probably wouldn't be compatible with what came with the factory equipped Sirrus 3.0.

I'd be grateful for any suggestions, and links to online shops (Europe-shipping preferably) where I can order the whole set from.

Thanks!

Oh, my bad - hadn't noticed the 'kbin' part of your username.

Starting to manage your personal finances using a dedicated software application will help you adopt healthy financial habits.

I'd recommend this free and open-source personal finance application: MoneyManager Ex - https://moneymanagerex.org/

It works on Windows, MacOS, Linux, and Android.

I have a Skoda Octavia Scout and have taken to referring to it as Skodillac.

Yeah, ask the two US astronauts that are stuck on ISS about that.

Dear Daily Notes Users: What do you put in there? in c/obsidianmd

Besides my personal Obsidian vault, I'd always have a vault for each software project that I'm involved in. Having said that - my use of daily notes is twofold -

During meetings/calls - I'd quickly jot action items, or a brief bullet list of important key take-aways
- Especially in conjunction with the Tasks plugin - I can quickly create a new task for myself, or for a peer (using their name as a tag). This way the tasks stay with their relevant context - the daily note they were created on, but I can still create a note with a task query that would give me a compiled list for tasks owned by a specific person, that would allow me to follow-up on them later.
As I work on programming tasks - I'd keep links, ideas, options gone-through-, or to-consider-
