    Looking to see if anyone has a set of Tiagra or 105 hydraulic sti levers. Looking to upgrafe my wifes cx/gravel bike from mechanical discs to hydraulic but keeping everything 10 speed.

    Have you thought about installing TRP HYRD semi Hydraulics?

    A much simpler job and they work really well.

    I thought about those alright but they work our fairly pricey for what they are. Think i would prefer to go full hydraulic.

    Thanks for the advice though...

    I think the challenge is that there are very few 10-speed hydraulic levers out there and those that do exist are fairly recent so not sure on upgrades. There is a Shimano Tiagra one but I can't think of any others, maybe SRAM do one, but unless you find someone who upgraded 10-speed hydraulic to 11-speed hydraulic they will be hard to find

    Mixed reviews on most things bike related is all about how you set them up and what you expect from them.

    These are a solution to use with cables - cheaper , easier and marginally less efficient in most disciplines than full hydraulic.

    Unless you intend racing at a high level these are more than adequate .

    I had standard trp disc callipers and these..
    In comparable.
    These are so close to full hydraulic most would not know the difference - UNLESS at a high level .
