"http://velonews.competitor.com/2010/09/news/cyclocross/technical-qa-with-lennard-zinn-return-to-cross_101807 This is a good article on shuddering cross brakes"

"I spoke with TRP direct and they said either would work fine with my Ultegra 10 speed levers - 9's for more power and 8.4s for more modulation. I've been having terrible problems with judder and squeal with my TRP CR 950s. The 8.4s should…"

"Wow. Looks like a great bike. Thats some serious spacer action."

"Installed Red shifters (2010) and set these up w/o travel agents. They "worked" fine but felt spongy. Installed travel agents to compare - feel way more positive so I left them. These stop better than any cantis Ive ever run, but are…"

"It's 130 rear spacing, 1" headset. 68 BB shell, but requires higher q-factor cranks due to wide chains stays (for larger tires). The fork has lots of extra steerer tube. I can included the cranks and I have tons of parts laying around. I…"

"Have a Kelly Knobby cross about ten years old in a weird blue color with wound up fork (good condition with minor cosmetic scratches). Fits me well (5'10") with a slightly less than 55cm top tube. Also have handle bars, headset pedals,…"

"I have 9-speed Shimano (older). I stand by my assessment that they are vastly improved by a travel agent. When I upgrade my shifters, I'll post an update."

"According to their site, TRP CX9 works with modern Shimano. The 8.4 is for 9-speed Shimano or SRAM or Campa. http://www.trpbrakes.com/article_detail.php?aid=22"

"The trp brakes are meant to work best with the most recent generation of shimano levers which have a different pull ration then the older models.  I have a set of 8.4 matted to new generation shimano levers and they are great but the same break…"

"Those shifters should be the same as mine. I got them to "work" fine, but they feel really awesome with the travel agents and there is a lot more rim clearance. I've had a variety of different v-brake set-ups on cross and they can…"

"I upgraded from discs to TRP 8.4s this season and have been super happy. That bike has Ultegra 9 speed so I didn't need an adapter."

"Well, that explains it perfectly! Hope they perform well for you with the new shifty bits."

"Im planning to upgrade to Sram Red shifters in near future"

"I'm curious why you chose the 8.4's.  Everywhere I had looked, sources recommended the 9's for Shimano levers.  I paired the 9's with my old (but still functional) 5600 levers and have been completely pleased without…"

"Just finished building my Redline Conquest Team. Went with Stans tubeless wheelset which ride way better than my old Ksyrium clinchers. Not a fan of the internal routing but the bike rides awesome and is a few pounds lighter than my Steelman. Just…"
