40 dollars canadian? What the h*ll happened to your normal bike? And if you can't use v's, get some expendable shoes and put your foot in the forks. 
YOU HAVE TO USE DISCS=SCREWED
YOU CAN GET ENTRY LvL BRAKESET+EAGLE 2's for 40? MAyBE. IF you don't have the v mounts, then my advice is ... I have no advice...

Do you have any idea what your doing? The discs that the set come with are obviously not going to work so that means new rotors right away....and you have to make sure those calipers work on the new rotors you get.

how will you feel if you are out $37 and still have to use your foot to stop?all my bmx buddies use their foot on the back tire instead of in the front rim.no problems with sticking it in too far and well the rest is painful and expensive.the kids here get their parents to spend mega bucks on some big name haro or dk etc.and as soon as they get home and mom and dad are in the house OFF COMES THE BRAKES then they use their shoe.its funny as heck to go riding with them.oh yeah they get new shoes with the bike too so they can (for real) stop.spend the money on some shoes to stop with or just save it to upgrade.i thought your bike was relatively new.what happened?maybe i confuse you wiyh another diamondback rider.if so sorry

Diamondback, you don't give us a headsup at all on what happened to your bike. You don't tell me why u can't use V's until it's too late and then diss me for it. Plus if you're gonna call me a dick, why'd you call me buddy? Jeez, what the heck is wrong with you.
