Upgrade to Magura HS33 or HS11 hydraulic rim brakes.
A friend here in Germany has an old C'dale 26 MTB that he is very fond of and has had from new.
He has swapped out the original fork for something newer with disc mounts and put in a disc-rotored front wheel.
On the back he has a standard rim-braked wheel but the original V-brake has been replaced by a Magura HS33.
It's a lovely set up and great fun to ride.
