What should I get? I'm using SRAM levers.
Thanks!

best bag for the buck is these:

same geometry as the trp 8.4s; they'll work great with sram levers, and you're looking at $40 shipped for 2 wheels.
i'm not aware of any others that are even in the same ballpark of price/performance.

I have these.

Slightly more travel/pad clearance than the 8.4s. I use them w/ Kool Stop Canti pads, and they have more power than my 7800 brakes.

Thanks, John. I almost grabbed the 926A Minis but figured I'd have to tweak them to work with SRAM levers.
