I dont know what they have these wheels market as, but I think they are great touring wheels- 36 spoke, strong, reliable MTB hubs, dont know anything about the rims though but I assume they are fine. Plus each one is handbulit (mine were signed by the builder) in minnesota.
All in all, for 300 bucks retail (Im guessing if you look can be gotten cheaper) I consider these to be prety damn good touring wheels.
