Get on ebay and get some second hand hope 4 pot brakes.
No joke. I swear by them. Ive had brakes from Tekro, Shimano, Avid, Hayes to Hopes, and Hopes win it hands down. You can get them cheap enough now.
As Jonny811922111211818811111ONE1111EIGHT11111 said, rockshocx are another thing I would swear by. I've had my Pike 426's for 8 years now and with regular servicing, they are still as good as the day I got them!
Gears, SRAM 7 or X9. All they way. Ive had so many shimano derailures snap on me now its not even funny. I 'acquired' about 6 when I worked at halfords, this stock was depleted within 12 months as they kept snapping. Ive had my X7 rear mech for 5 years now and all I have had to do was change the jockey wheels.
