Re: What to do about tires...
Wheelman, to your knowledge, the dimensions are all the same except for the drum diameter(80mm to 95mm) and rim width(1.85" to 2.15"), so my spacers and cables will all still work, right? I installed the rear Met wheel last week, so I know that is a direct replacement.

Re: What to do about tires...
Greetings:
I believe I still had the Aero when I got my first Met front wheel. The Aero shares most of the fork parts with the early Elites. So, yes - just re-use your current spacers and brake/speedo cables. My Aero had a minor issue with the wider tires kissing the fender at full bump, but that shouldn't be a problem with the Elite fender design.
