True. It's usually what the manufacturer recommends for the rim, but Park Tools also has a general range and a rule of thumb I go by if I can't find manufacturer specs is 100-110 kgf for non-eyeleted rims and 100-120 kgf for eyeleted rims, with the non-drive side being about 60-100% of that depending on dish.
