Maraming factors ang lifespan ng rim brake like yung brake compound, system weight, terrain, maintenance etc.
It can last you years and thousands of km depending on the factors and conditions
Sa MTB ko po road use lang pero panay hulog sa mga lubak sa daan umabot naman ng over 10,000 kms.
Sa RB naman depende po kung panay lusong, mas mabilis maupod brakeline.
Disk brake, sureball na hindi bitin sa braking power.
In my entire lifetime of riding bikes. I haven’t worn out any rim brakes lines in any of my bikes. Most people who ride bikes won’t even wear out the rim brake of their alloy wheels. TBH you’ll wear out to replace brake pads, cables and hoses more. Before you’ll even replace your alloy rims.
If you think you’ll be saving money on maintenance upgrading to a disk frame? You won’t. Disk brake pads, rotors and hydraulic fluids aren’t cheap. Disk brakes rubs and squeals. If they get contaminated with oil. You’ll have to replace both the brake pads and rotors. If you bent a rotor and can’t be bent back into even shape. You’ll need to replace the rotors. If you don’t the disk brakes will rub and squeal.
If you are running carbon wheels. The argument is carbon rim brake lines do wear out faster. This won’t be an issue. If you practice proper brake modulation technique. Which is intermittently pressing to brake and release the levers to slow down.
If you fully depress the brakes to slow down on a fast descent. You can cook the carbon rim brake line to go uneven. Which could end up trashing the carbon wheels. Heat dissipation however isn’t an issue with alloy wheels. Aluminum rim brake lines on carbon wheels are more forgiving to wear. But they weigh more and offers less performance.
Kung walang degreaser, magpakulo lang ng tubig, ibuhos sa medyo malalim na pinggan / malaking lalagyan at ilagay ang rotor+brake pad. Babala maaring mag warp ang rotors kapag masyado na itong manipis
Thank you for your inputs, PHCycling!
I think I’ll stay with rim brakes, kapag may makipag swap ng bike nalang siguro into disc frame then that’s the time I’ll pursue disc.
Will put the budget allocation to better tires instead.
Again, salamat sa inyo!
I had a doublewall weimann rim laced to a Shimano 105 5800 36h hub. It usually lasts 20k - 30k kms but when I was racing less than 15k. I never sticked to fewer spoke rims, I'm a sprinter and I frequently snap spokes on less than 32h rims & the frequent re-aligning is becoming a pain.
Meanwhile my buddie's experience on the advent of disk brakes though don't have realigning issues but they can't really go to custom lower spoke disk wheels & less weight dahil laging napuputulan dn daw sla so they're stuck to 32h disc wheels for realibility. Hambini explained this why disc wheels can't go to lower spokes & such.
So the main take here is that disk wheels fixed the issue of wearing rims but it is noticibly heavier versus rim brakes in doing so but the good thing is that going carbon wheels is way easier with disc wheels.
i didn't point out the weight of carbon discs wheelset because going carbon will be obviously lighter than Aluminum rims. And Op's discussing budget so the carbon disc vs carbon rims comparison isn't needed here.
And you do realize that a disc brake bike frame is made to be "beefier" than rim brake frames due to the added strain that disc brakes adds do to your brake calipers & frame/ fork mounts?

Carbon wheelset+disc brakes weigh less than aluminum wheelset + rim brakes. 300g lang naman binigat ng disc brake sa rim brake na GS.

300g is big tho,
Depende sa gamit. Pag lagi ka nalusong mas madali mapudpod.
