Gravel bike with rim brakes that also can use normal road bike rims

The cons to disk brakes are quite simple: 1. You need to keep your wheels trued. 2. You need to spend some time learning how to maintain them (i don’t buy this ‘not mechanically savvy’ excuse - there’s plenty of good content out there if people want to learn. Heck even the SRAM manual on its own will get you through a bleed or master cylinder replacement with a bit of patience). 3. If you really don’t want to take the time to learn 1 and 2 you can either go for a cable-actuated hydro like the Juin-Tech (practically as good as full hydro) or pay a bike shop to do it.
