I have an 87 SE50. Picked up some Met wheels and slapped on some new tubeless rubber. Rear wheel went on like butter, bolted right up. Front wheel is giving me fits. The SE50 front brakes are smaller so I have to use the Met one. Unfortunately, the Met front brakes don't mate up with the SE50 forks! (see pic) Theres a peg on the forks that has to go into a slot on the brake assembly. The Met doesn't have said slot! Any ideas besides changing the entire fork assembly?
I was told the Met wheels bolt right up to the Elite...

Re: How to fit Met front wheel onto an SE50
It's because the met forks are wider and different style. Use the hub, axle and spacer from an sa50 elite - 1994-2001 only. I do believe the met brake shoes fit on the sa50 hub.

Cant use the SE50 brake hub on the Met wheel...The Met hub is much larger. The axle and spacer both fit just fine.
