Great stuff, thanks. Been reading up on this ETRTO system and it makes loads more sense. Looks like I can get a 29x1.95 without fender on as per Soma's FAQ section too.
Looking at getting this and going down the Rohloff route...

You can fit that 29er wheelset but the supplied tyre 29x2.36" (60-622) is too wide for the Wolverine.
From my experience it's possible to fit up to 29x2.00" (50-622) without having to move the inserts to the rear of the dropout which is not recommended by the manufacturer as putting too much stress on the dropout area. I have found that 29x2.00" provides enough mud-clearance (not so much if using front derailleur) and the insert is just in the middle position of the dropout.
If you want to use a Rohloff hub I will also advise to get the Rohloff-specific left insert from Paragon Machine Works.

Well a 29er wheelset has them same diameter as 700c / 622 ETRTO wheels. When speaking of 29er it is referred to the approx. outer diameter including fat tires. The main difference is that most 29er wheelsets will have wider rims to support the wider tires.
So yes put a 29er wheelset in your Wolverine, no problem but you are still limited to the tire clearance of the frame. Here you should keep in mind that tires can become slightly wider on wider rims.
