I am plan on touring back to the UK from New Zealand so expect to bust some of the gear I take along the way.

I am going to build my own touring wheels and am trying to decide what Rims & Hubs to purchase. In this thinking, I feel like I've come up with something that could get me out of trouble on my big cycle back, but I don't remember seeing it anywhere else before.
The idea:
Build wheels using Clincher rims with disc brake hubs.

If my disc brakes fail, I feel like it would be more likely to find a mechanic that could fit V brakes instead of replacing/repairing disc brakes... Is this a ridiculous idea?

Thanks,

Liam
