I am looking for new rims for my rigid mtb that I use mainly for gravel type stuff, nothing gnar.

Normally fit 2.1 tyres so what rim / internal width would be good for that? I did like the look of a crest but I have too heavy for that at 105kg

DT XM 421's, pretty light, 25mm wide which should be about right, and 120 KG weight limit.

Hunt XC Wide? or even the race wide should be ok!

I don't think Hunt make their own stuff. It's more a packaging customer service thing. They are great though. Customer service is blinding.

But I've heard from a good wheelbuilder that a lot of OEM stuff is just as good.

When you say rims, are you meaning just rims? Going to get them built onto hubs you have?
