What's your budget? There are a lot of options. Most djers only run one brake, which may save you some coin.

The Elixirs would be a good choice. Cheap but they have several of the fancy features the more expensive versions do.

I'd advise against getting anything not made by one of the well known brake manufacturers (avid, shimano, hayes, magura, hope). You won't be able to get replacement parts easily, and most off-brand brakes perform really poorly.

Let us know how they work, give us a quick review after you get some time on them.

Thanks, C.
