I think that's the actual selling point for disc brakes; it's cheaper to replace a rotor than it is to replace a rim. (Not so much so in 700c, but in boutique sizes like 650b rims are becoming eye-poppingly expensive and if you venture away from the Velocity offerings there's not certainty that you'll be able to replace them when they wear down.) -david parsons -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
