I have never seen a rim represented as being a "touring" rim. I have seen I think "TOURING" bikes so I guess they have Touring rims. What are the unique characteristics of "TOURING" Rims ? Do you know of a couple of Rim mfgrs that feature a special "TOURING RIM" i dont even know what size rims are used
