TRP XC9 V Brakes

Has anyone had experience of these brakes as I am thinking of fitting them to my Sherpa build? Look a quality item and think they could be ideal for touring. Any comments or guidance appreciated.

They're some sweet looking bling, that's for sure! Expensive, though...
I mounted Magura HS33s on my Nomad last year. Similar pricey, not as pretty. They took some setting up, but now they're lovely and reliable.

Check to make sure it will it give you clearance for fenders over 2.0 width tires, assuming you might at some point go with tires of that size.

Good to see continued supply of high-end rim brakes. I see the v brake in their range is pitched at being half the weight of a disc. Reminds me of the Avid ultimates. Interested in any user feedback out there.

They look like short armed ones for use on CX bikes, there usualy don't have any mudguard clearance.

Thanks, the mudguard clearance is a good consideration I had not thought of.
