I can park my bike inside the machine shop where I work. I ride in wet conditions fairly often. I have worn out at least two sets of rims from braking use alone. I can't afford to use rim brakes anymore. The wet conditions create a grinding compound on the rims and will erode them with regular use, so disc brakes are the only economical choice for me.
