Plus the time to work out *if* they need changing, which is a one second glance on a rim brake...
And about the same on a disc brake - though you usually get a warning from them starting to stick on IME if you haven't checked.

We can agree to differ. IME you need to remove wheel and pad on a disc, and even then it's not actually obvious if it needs changing. Whereas it's visually obvious on a rim without anything other than a glance.
But you may have special skillz.
Presumably then that varies according to the particular disc brakes you have. On my current ones (Shimano 105 - 7020 calipers), I can see the wear material and how much is left just by looking at the calipers from above.

Thanks for the update.
Just have to remember you're riding the rim brakes when descending into that hairpin in the rain.All that said, I still have my rim bike, I can stop just fine on it and I will be keeping it and riding it. I'll just not race it anymore because for me, discs just work better overall.
