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?

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.
