What on earth did we do before disc brakes lol.
Got along swimmingly with rim brakes for centuries (pardon the pun).
I've ridden wheels thousands and thousands of miles. Never replaced a wheel because of rim wear. Maybe I should have, but never did. Are manufacturers now convincing us that we should be replacing our rims every 500 miles or ********** Poppycock.

Not saying discs are better, but rim wear is an actual problem with rim brakes. It's FAR easier to replace a disc than a rim.
