Me neither. And round here it's very sandy/gritty which makes things hard on pads.

summerdays said:My disks are on a hybrid that hardly ever leaves the road. However I much prefer the stopping power of the disks (especially in the rain), not having to adjust them as they wear, no I don't clean my rims, and they don't wear down unlike on the previous bike, and I don't get as filthy. And if you do get your rims muddy/gritty you can still use your brakes.

All v-brakes most definately are effected by wet muddy rims. The wheel normally hast to do at least one full revolution to 'clean' the rim before the brakes will bite properly.I haven't noticed the braking on my new hybrid with v brakes being less effective in the rain
