No question - Magura HS-33. $80 can? Dream on. They're like $170us. Can we get any brakes for $80?
Hell, I sell the 22s for $110US and even that's double his...DeeEight

budget. $80 cdn barely gets a pair of Deore LX V-brakes, let alone
any Magura product.

Well if your asking hydraulics/mech disc you can get Hayes HMX-1 kit (includes front and rear) for 90 US dollars, which is an awesome deal considering they usually cost 90 dollars for 1 brake (front or rear) but you can get the WHOLE THING FOR 90 @ SUPERGO.COM D:

If you read he also mention hydraulic disc brakes in his message so I took it he was interested in disc brakes too.......so i mentioned some disc rims for him in addition to some info on v-brake rims.

He was most likely referring to Magura HS33 hydraulic rim brakes.

the absolute best V brake setup in my opinion would be:
Avid Ultimate levers
Avid Ultimate V brakes
GoreTex Cables
