|   Ceramic advantage? | roma
May 28, 2003 6:45 AM | | I'll be lacing up a new set of wheels for the 29"er which has discs both ends. Is there any advantage to using ceramic rims when you're not using rim brakes? Thanks for the help... |

Since your brakes will never touch your rims, the ceramic coating on a disc brake wheel is totally wasted. Considering how much more you'll spend on the ceramic rims, you are much better off not using them. |
