What’s the difference between Metropolitan and Ruckus wheels? It seems that Ruckus wheels are a lot easier to find. Also can either be fitted to the front of a Spree using the stock fork?
Thanks!
Met vs Ruck Wheels What’s the Difference?

Re: Met vs Ruck Wheels What’s the Difference?
Ruckus wheels are wider. Don't think a ruck will work and the met wheel would be tight. I would suggest a 94-01 elite sa50 wheel with met brake plate. The elite wheel is just slightly narrower than the met. Your still gonna have to modify the hub and re-shim to get it centered.

Thanks for the info. Are there any tubeless wheels that fit a stock spree fork?
Re: Met vs Ruck Wheels What’s the Difference?
i dont think the met brake plate matches the spree/aero/elite setup. get the elite brake plate to match the elite or met wheel instead. the only upgrade from a met brake plate, is the brake cam arm which can be pulled from an aero or bought from honda, just check part numbers.Ben L. wrote: ↑Fri Oct 18, 2019 1:10 pm Ruckus wheels are wider.

tubeless wheels that fit spree forks? idk, other people do know about swapping out stuff on sprees tho im sure.
Re: Met vs Ruck Wheels What’s the Difference?
Not sure about older elites, but 94-01 and metros share the same larger drum size from sprees. That's why people upgrade wheels when swapping motors.kosmo wrote: ↑Sat Oct 19, 2019 5:02 ami dont think the met brake plate matches the spree/aero/elite setup. get the elite brake plate to match the elite or met wheel instead. the only upgrade from a met brake plate, is the brake cam arm which can be pulled from an aero or bought from honda, just check part numbers.Ben L. wrote: ↑Fri Oct 18, 2019 1:10 pm Ruckus wheels are wider.

I'm currently running an elite wheel with met brake plate on a razz which is very similar to the spree. Met brake plates have more meat on them to modify for the brake stop.
