i SMed mine a few years ago, makes a much better road bike without the 21" front knobbly. ive got dunlop GPR sports tyres on talon rims laced to original hubs with HD stainless spokes.
dont listen to anyone who says you cant put inner tubes in a tubeless tyre, course you can, its the other way round that doesnt work very well.
the front grip will be much better now which really shows up how rubbish the brake is and how soft the forks are. unless you go the expensive route and get a full brake conversion(dont think you can get one for these anyway) heavier fork oil and a braided hose is all you need. sintered pads too.
