I should be receiving my new to me 2008 CalVin in the next couple of weeks. The only thing I want to change is the wheels so that I have tubeless like I had on my '98EV. Anyone know a good source? I guess I have to mod the rear wheel also?
Thanks
Jerry

Cali will handle wonderful, just need fitting. Not that bad of a job.

I have a set from an 03 EV that are available. Can arrange to send all the mods you need to make the swap. I would like to get the parts you need to remove though. Only a couple things. Axle, brake holder, 2 spacers. Then the splines in the rear drive can be changed or we could swap drives. I won't need the wheels, as I already have a set from a Stone which I had made into sidecar 15" .

Your CalVin's wheels are easily and safely convertible to tubeless and at very low cost. I have done the wheels on both my California Stones (2003 and 2004) and they are holding air just fine after over 2 years with very little "topping off" required. Many articles on line re "How to" or PM me.

+2. I too don't like having to deal with tubes, but I'd rather deal with them than ugly up my pretty white CalVin.

did you make the modification "CalVin's wheels are easily and safely convertible to tubeless and at very low cost" I would like to know if it worked out ok. I would like to convert mine also (then I can just carry a plug and pump and ditch the tyre levers and repair kit.
I did a puncture repair on a run out a few weeks ago and would wish to avoid it again if possible.
