A little, but not really enough to worry about.

If you ride when it's muddy and/or dusty, then rim brakes will cause a bit of wear on the rims. But it'll take thousands of miles before the rims are used up.

Only thing is that if your rims are colored, you can wear through into bare metal along the brake track fairly soon.

The sheer majority of them have brakes, which sorts that out. Fixies might not have brakes as such, but you can put backpressure on the pedals which will stop the bike eventually.

How can you tell if your mountain bike rims are disc brake ready?

It's no trouble at all using supposedly rim brake rims with disc brakes, nothing will happen because of that. But your hubs has to be able to take a brake rotor and your fork/frame has to be able to take a brake caliper if you want to put disc brakes on your bike.


Can you buy a 29 bike and put 26 wheels on it?

Not unless it has disc brakes--a 29" wheel has a radius 1.5" larger than a 26" wheel, so cantilever brakes won't reach the rims. The question I have is, why would you want to do this?
