This is a great thread. I have never had a rim issue but I am also not as young as I used to be. I do feel safer on my touring bike with disk brakes, but also like to ride other bikes in my harem. One bike with original rims from the 1970s is one of my favorites so I will think about whether to change riding habits or just be more mindful of where I ride. Will keep this all in mind.
