Perhaps I'm confused. I've always used the term "dimple," in connection with rims, to mean the bulges toward the wheel center that formed the spoke holes on some Weinmann rims.
What Lynn Miller shows at the web site below is different, being on the braking surface. I've always called that "knurling," although that's really stretching the machinist's term to fit a stamped surface.
Any arbiters of truth out there, or just the usual suspects with strong opinions (like me)?
