For example I've seen knurled versions of the Weinmann clincher rims on several original '71 Sports Tourers, however the catalogs list them as the same p/n as the non-knurled rims and there is no separate number or callout for knurled versions. After riding on them I can tell you they really howl and seem to really eat up the old pads!
