>>1023637It rides very well. The smaller wheels take a bit to get used to but the frame geometry is built around the wheels size and it feels almost like a standard touring bike.
Discs rotors get bent easily and I didn't want to have to remove the rotors when packing the bike. Plus you can find v-brake pads anywhere, hell even walmart has them. Disc pads are proprietary and more difficult to source in a pinch. I use soft pads that are rim friendly, also I remove debris from my pads as part of my weekly maintenance.
The Rohloff is excellent, I like it so much I have one on my 700c Waterford tourer. That bike has discs.
Alaska and Yukon Territory was breathtaking. Some of the most challenging and beautiful terrain I've had the pleasure of riding.
