That's correct. I too was running both dhr evos on one bike and pros on the other. In the end I chose to sell off the evo levers and pick up a set up evo pro levers. Not cheap, but better than new brake sets. Having two bikes with two different braking bite points was really throwing me off.

When you say levers you mean whole assembly or one can swap brake lever only and get a pro version?

Whole assembly. Don't think you can swap brake lever only.

Pretty sure the caliper has remained the same, just has a new lever. So, you should be able to swap levers, when they're available.

It is the same caliper. I think some people get confused with the actual lever vs brake lever assembly.

is anyone running the Saint hoses on either the evo or the Pro's ??
What barb/olive etc do we use?

I recall there is a pro downhiller running them, I think NekO Mullaly, no idea on which barb to run

The TRP piston massage procedure video says to use a set of worn pads. Anyone successfully done it with just the (not so worn) pads currently installed? My rear caliper rubs horribly after it heats up which makes me think I need to do some massaging.

So I did the piston massage procedure exactly as described in the TRP video… and my rear brake still ends up with the inboard (hose-side) pistons aligned with about double or triple the exposed piston as the outboard side. Unclear if this is the source of pad rub when the brake is hot, but the procedure did nothing as far as the alignment of the brake. I did see one small air bubble come thru.

I notice mine does this too… planning to give the bike a deeper clean in the next few weeks and was going to try to re-center them and see if it keeps happening

The pistons all move at the same rate, but it sure looks weird. The front caliper does not do this. Anecdotally some of the pad rub seems to be alleviated but I need to try a big downhill to realty test it.

I had this issue With The old EVO's and Trail EVO's which use the same caliper, The seals are being extra lazy on one side and its always the inboard side that extends more.
i'd set them up perfectly square and aligned and no matter what the inboard pistons would extend more and cause rub.

I pulled the caliper to bits and reassembled then refilled/bleed the system which fixed it. I want to assume it was just the seals being tight and the friction of reinstalling it all was enough, Either that or there was an air lock/bubble in the outer side causing them under pressure to not put out as much force.

If unsure, contact TRP they are pretty good.

 

[Dabs For Everyone]

Despite not fixing the piston alignment, the massage did seem to address the rubbing I was getting from heat build up. So I will call that a win, though somewhat moot as I plan to replace these calipers for an upcoming upgrade to the EVO pros.

So I’ve got new EVO Pros on the way (complete with “tariff surcharge” grumble grumble). Does anyone know if my existing DH-R EVO matchmaker adapters will work, or do I need to order the EVO Pro specific adapters? I suspect the latter, but I was curious since the DH-R adapters no longer seem to be offered on TRP’s online store.

 

[MrPotential]

The Pro has new, better adapters.

The existing adapters do not work. The new evo pros have a different bar clamp. The existing DHR adapters are still on the site, just a different location (accessories).

Keep in mind the L & R adapters are interchangeable on either side. Just keep in mind if it will interfere anything else on your handlebars (example ebike remotes).

Well ****, I hadn't realized that the Lever Assembly was available separately now... Someone hide my wallet.

EVO Pro Lever Assembly

EVO Pro Lever Assembly offers smooth actuation and ergonomic design for consistent brake performance on every ride.

Whats up with these new rotors with all the holes. Getting crazy buzz on them. Have dhr evos on 3 bikes, red pads / old rotors have been fine for me for years. The second I put these rotors on with new pads I get crazy buzz mostly on v steep brake burner descents. Bike sounds like a motorcycle.

I had the same thing, eventually went back to the original style rotors because it was annoying me so much. Eventually, I could also feel it through the lever slightly.

Guys- what are we doing about lever throw. I noticed as the pads wear the lever dead stroke becomes further. I threw on some new pads with a quick lever bleed and the dead stroke is about 50% less

Are you just living with the additional throw? You replacing pads more often?

For those of you who had thrown on Freedom Coast or Oak Component levers, does this reduce this issue? Or maybe its time to swap to the new Pro Levers with adjustable bite point

A friend of mine just got the new Pro levers and his have more dead throw than the previous model despite having the adjustment turned all the way out. He's kind of bumming on them right now and trying to find a fix.

That's strange I don't have that issue. Did he try bleeding them again?
