48 spoke, 27" tandem rim availability

[JC]

Hi Folks,

Anybody know of new rims in 630mm/27" with 48 hole
drilling for clinchers? This is for an older tandem
with Suntour sealed bearing hubs. Thanks in advance.
Respectfully,
JC

Conti Top Touring are still available, as are Ultra Sport if you want
something faster.
