What size tyre you looking at fitting? I've run 40mm with 17mm internal without any problems -Spesh fitted 42mm tyres to their 18mm 'Globe' Alexrim as standard on their Globe range. Just in case that might open up some avenues regards rim choice.

Probably around 50mm. Ye I'm not super concerned about them being more than 19mm, I guess 18-19 is acceptable. Tubeless and rim brake is more the problem

If you do decide to get some built:
- Velocity Cliffhanger rims (new)
- Hope Pro 2 Evo (used, in good condition and will fit new bearings)
I was going to build up myself but haven't gotten round to it but would love to finally build them up for someone!

Ye that would be nice but budget means probably kinlins. I have a Surly front hub I could use and I'll probably just get a Novatec F172SB Rear Hub. Trying to get something built up on a bit of a budget to use this summer.
Just realised I need 135mm rear hub, search continues for silver, rim brake, 135mm and not super expensive.

I’m also in the market for this kind of
thing and struggling. Let me know if you find any of the shelf options ! -

building a similar wheelset recently i went for deore t610s (they're 135 spaced, very cheap, something like £20/35 respectively off spa) and some on sale velo orange escapade rims. they're great, arguably the widest rim brake rims readily available, not tubeless. i did get them on sale for £40 a rim tho,
they now do the voyager rims which are tubeless, rim brake ready but not a machined brake track, but are sadly £80 a rim.
the only other i found was the aforementioned velocity cliff hanger
i couldn't even find a cheap kinlin rim as for 29r they're all disc.

Ye I almost pulled the trigger on the t610s but they’re only 10 speed? Tbh I probably would be absolutely fine with 10 speed but well yano.
I was just going to go with kinlin xr22/26 if spa have any of the rim brake versions left.
@tom-g there’s a guy who sells hand built wheels on eBay, he said he would do a set of t610s on DT Swiss r460s for 220. They’re sleeved/pinned though and only 18mm inner width but they are tubeless.
Wondering if anyone has anything 19+mm internal.
Bit of a long shot I know but just thought I'd try before I get something built.
Pick up London or if you're willing to post that's cool.
