I've tried stock, Jagwire, Aican, & Swissstop pads on my Spyres mounted on road bike. I climb steep, so brake alot on the descent.
Any suggestions to maximize the performance of Spyres (without going to $$$ hydro brakes). Using 160mm good rotors front & rear. THX

Before I swapped to cable actuated hydros, I had settled on SwissStop DISC 15 DISC E which were developed for e-bikes.

I ride two Crossbikes with mechanic Disc and one with full hydros. On the TRP Spyre equipped bike I use http://www.swissstop.com/DiscBrakes/Disc15/Sintered/ together with hope floating rotors. This results in enough stopping power on longer descents for me as a 85kg rider, modulation is o.k. as well. The Disc E compound should have an even better modulation rating, so they might be a better choice.

Thanks, I'll look for that E compound & try that.
As for the S, I thought that stood for Sintered, and my rotors require organic.

try shimano deore 525 sintered pads, they work well and last longer than the stock pads

Get sintered pads and compatible rotors, the added stopping power is worth noise.
