So I live in the rainy Pacific Northwest and the rims and brakes are wearing out to fast on my winter bike (Windsor Cyclo from BD). I'm too lazy to clean off the rims after each ride and I tore through the first set of pads in just over 500 miles of wet riding and the wear line on the rims is almost gone after about 1300 miles. With winter coming up, I'm considering a bike with mechanical disc brakes and selling off my current summer bike and using the Windsor for dry riding.
Is there anyone out there (with experience in this type of climate) that would talk me out of this move?
This is what I'm look at if I they get my size in and I can convince my wife of the price
