WTB i29 rim, I'd like to fit some normal 2.3 high rollers. I think they'll be okay.

Yep, fine. Though I'd fit a 2.4 DHR2 instead of a 2.3 HR2 personally, but that's not width, I just think it's a better tyre

You don't NEED WT but they will work better

In 29er size I found 2.3 HR2's too square in profile on 29mm and thus dragged more with pressures around 20psi. They also didn't feel like a HR2 to ride (roll well on centre, take a good lean to get on the knobs, do the slip 'n grip thing). I use them on the hardtail on a 23mm rim and they're great on that. I replaced with DHF WT's and they are much better in profile. I would have got H2R's in WT but they weren't available when I swapped.

NorthWind is right about most things TBH.
