I love my disc brake bikes. But it is true that they are a major pain in the neck to work on.
My mechanical discs require constant fussing. The hydro discs are generally super reliable, but when I need them bled I have to take them to a bike shop and pay them $100+ and be without my bike for a week while they mess with toxic fluids.
I've been building up a rim brake bike and I have to tell you, I'm excited to get it out on the road and see how I like it after doing the disc thing for so long. They are so easy to set up and work on...
