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.

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.
