I need one with 36h drilling - does anything decent exist? I'd get a Notubes rim if I could, but all their current offerings appear to be disc only (as do the majority of other 29er rims on offer). Something reasonably wide but not too heavy would be good - would probably go for something like a Rhyno-Lite if it was possible to get them over here (OK, so I'm not after super light, but then one of those is a lot lighter than the obvious uni-specific alternatives).

I would be looking at touring or cross rims as I am unsure what other non disk options there are.

Thanks for the tip - I'd really prefer something a bit wider than that though.

Get them quick. Salsa are exiting the rim business.

Thanks for the tip - is that 22.5mm internal between the hooks?

I've also found this as an option:

Given I'm replacing a tn719 and mostly going to run a not too wide road tyre I suppose I could go for something the same width as that which would give me more options - would be nice to have something which would support a big off-road tyre run at low pressure for occasional use though.

cant remember bead width - Ive run mine with 2.1" ignitors very happily. Not tried the fatter 2.4's though.
