I've had my old rim brake bike since 2016, but rarely ride it these days. I've become so used to the powerful braking offered by fully hydraulic disc brake groupsets, I often leave my rim brake bike at home.
Especially if the weather doesn't look great, because braking on rim brakes with fully carbon wheels in the rain, can be downright dangerous.
So using a spare disc brake fork I had, I converted the front wheel to hydraulic disc brake (and also played around with mechanical disc brake aswell).
The final is a complete mish mash of random parts, but it works really really well.
