Do it. You will LOVE it. I've gone to discs on my race bike this season, but the mini-Vs are still on my SSCX bike (moved from last year's race bike). They are SO MUCH better at stopping/slowing than cantilever brakes. The downside is that there is quite a bit less mud clearance with them, so be sure to take that into account. For me, the stopping power out-weighed the clearance.

Good to know! We don't generally get a TON of mud here...mostly wet sand, but it doesn't build-up like heavy mud does. And this year we've not had any wet races at all (we didn't race this past weekend, though...which was very wet).

Congrats! I too love the awesome socks!

Awesome!

Love the photo! Ride with joy!
