my next geared bike frame will definitely take disc brakes. i hate setting up rim brakes. i love working on a bike, i even like fiddling with the gearing, but i hate everything to do with rim brakes. the worst is when you still have the ones with actual springs instead of that metal thing holding the spring or whatever, and you lose that spring. good luck finding a replacement, unless you can sort of bend them yourself. you can basically throw away that brake. the whole aspect of making rim brakes fit your frame/fork right, down to having to use mad spacers or some shit to fixate them correctly, or having to take them off and on possibly (i.e. with u-brakes) whenever you want to install a rack or fenders, it's just so annoying. disc brakes just make more sense to me. i know there's annoying maintenance with those as well, but i'm just over dealing with rim brakes. especially when nowadays they seem to die out and there's either no name cheap ones from ali baba or absolutely overpriced high performance rim brakes. best chance for good ones seems to be ebay, or the used market but i'm done with buying used rim brakes for sure. i rode all the different kinds and imo they all suck from a maintenance standpoint. if performance is same with discs i can't wait to change to those.
@Enrico Pallazzo that bike looks badass, kudos.
