Time for new brakes
 

I palp a GF Wahoo which is about 6 years old. It has crappy Tektro brakes which are rusting. I need to replace them. I'd love to upgrade to disc brakes but my wheels are made for rim brakes only and I am not awash with $$$.

Can anyone recommend decent replacement rim brakes that are inexpensive?

I use Avid Single Digit 7's
They're lighter than anything made by Shimano for rim brakes.
And they're not stupid-expensive, maybe $20-$25 per wheel from Jenson USA or other online retailers.

Single Digit 7's are lighter than XTR v's?

Edit: Well I'll be they are. They're even lighter than some of campy's road brakes.

Add some Kool-stop salmon pads and a good rim sidewall cleaning too.

Kool Stop are the best for rim brakes

ive had nothing but trouble with sram. not that im hating ive just had so much better luck with shimnao and tektro. i have these http://www.jensonusa.com/store/produ...ni+L-Pull.aspx and they work stellar. they are also cheap. http://www.jensonusa.com/store/produ...e+3+Brake.aspx those are really good they are just expensive
