[Partial QUOTE=positron;14578462]Disks win because you don't wear out your rims. Dishing and spoke breakage will not be an issue if your wheels are built properly. ...... disks- the best because you dont have to rebuild your wheels when your rims dont wear out. /thread[/QUOTE]

Mostly agree. Wanted to probe the larger audience regarding; Are a lot of folks really wearing out rims due to contact with brake pads? If so, what kind of riding are they doing, such as extreme downhill mountain trails, riding through sand, etc. Are they using super thin walled rims, etc. Are they folks who do not keep their pads clean, trimmed, and adjusted on a regular basis...?
