FAQs

What type of frame mount does the Hylex HD-C8110 use?

The Hylex HD-C8110 uses a flat mount caliper design.

Can I use this brake with my electronic shifter?

Yes, it can be paired with TRP HyWire Pinion and TRP Vistar Classified electronic shifter/brake levers for a mixed system, or used as a standalone brake.

What is the recommended rotor thickness?

The brake is intended for use with 1.8mm thick rotors.

How do I perform a brake bleed?

Refer to the official TRP service manual for detailed instructions on performing a hydraulic brake bleed, as it requires specific tools and fluid.

What is the weight of the lever, caliper, and hose assembly?

The combined weight of the lever, caliper, and hose is approximately 429 grams.

Is this brake suitable for mountain bikes?

While it offers hydraulic power, it is primarily designed for drop bar bikes, particularly single-speed applications like gravel or cyclocross, and may not offer the extreme power needed for all mountain biking scenarios.

Troubleshooting

Brake lever feels spongy

The brake system may need bleeding. Refer to the TRP service manual or consult a professional mechanic.

Braking power is weak

Ensure the rotor is clean and free of contaminants. Check pad wear and replace if necessary. Verify correct brake line routing and check for any kinks.

Grinding noise during braking

Inspect brake pads for contamination or wear. Ensure the rotor is straight and free from damage. Check that the caliper is properly aligned with the rotor.

Lever does not return fully

Check for obstructions around the lever mechanism. Ensure the brake cable (if used in conjunction with electronic shifters) is not binding.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Enhanced ergonomic design for superior comfort and control.
  • Slim and modern hood profile for a clean cockpit aesthetic.
  • Powerful and consistent hydraulic braking performance.
  • Easy installation and maintenance with the EZ Plug system.
  • Adjustable reach for personalized lever feel.

Cons

  • May require specific shifter pairing for electronic systems.
  • Primarily designed for single-speed applications.
  • Requires 1.8mm rotor thickness for optimal performance.
  • Hydraulic system requires occasional maintenance like bleeding.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Hylex HD-C8110 features an EZ Plug system for simplified hose connection. Ensure the brake line is routed cleanly and securely. For optimal performance, pair with TRP-approved 1.8mm rotors. Installation typically involves mounting the flat mount caliper to the frame and connecting the hydraulic line to the lever.

Compatibility: This brake is designed for flat mount frames. It can be used as a standalone front or rear brake, or paired with TRP HyWire Pinion or TRP Vistar Classified electronic shifters. Ensure your frame has the correct flat mount provisions.

Care: Regular cleaning of the caliper and rotor with isopropyl alcohol will maintain optimal braking. Periodically check brake fluid levels and perform a hydraulic bleed if lever feel becomes spongy or inconsistent. Keep the lever blades and hood clean with a damp cloth.
