I would recommend you get some of the shimano deore disc breaks instead of the avid bb breaks.

The avids have ZERO modulation — they only really do "on" or "off", which is no good in the wet as your wheels will just lock up. The shimano's are super powerful (for a budget brake) and they have tons of modulation so you can brake properly.
