Hey all,

I've just hit some fitness goals which mean I finally get to buy a dynamo wheel and lighting setup (hooray!). I've done a great deal of research on dynamo hubs on the market as well as shops that would be willing to build the wheel for me. (I don't want the first wheel I build to be so valuable... I'd prefer a pro to do it.)

Here's my problem: My current touring bike uses cantilever brakes, but I don't plan to keep it forever. I may want to use mechanical disc brakes in the future. Is it possible to have the wheel built with a disc-ready hub AND a brake-ready rim? If not, well, end of story-- I guess I'm sticking with rim brakes for a long time coming. On the other hand, if it is possible, are there any downsides?

Thanks for any guidance you can provide.
