Something 21mm internal width will work better with fat tyres and will still be good for a more road oriented use with 28C tyres.

Thanks I was thinking it might be too skinny. Oh well.
Any rim recommendations? I tend to favour strength over weight (but not to an extreme - I weigh 14 stone but don't exactly do great big drops or anything, wheels mostly on the ground at all times).
Possibly worth getting something tubeless or tubeless friendly. Bit of a n00b with that but I have done it on a customer's bike before.
I'm not a fan of anything with straight pull spokes or propriety systems (Crank Bros Cobalt, Mavic weird fat spokes etc...) regular alloy (eyeletted!) rims with standard j bend spokes ftw.

Is an A319 rim too narrow for a 29er? Its for a Singular Swift which will be built up a bit more for gravel/toepath than proper off road (although it'll see the rare bit of thick mud and rocks).
Says it can fit a 47mm rim so I'm sure a bit bigger would work too. Plus I can switch to a more roadie guise if needs be.
Bit new to 29ering so not sure.
