Title: Rainbow Labels - Which Way??
Post by: Retrodan72 on January 18, 2012, 01:12 PM
I've managed to get a pair of these for my Supergoose but was wondering which way you guys fit them as there's only a label on 1 side. :-\

Do you have them both on the same side or opposite??

Or, is it a personal preference type of thing?? ;) :daumenhoch:

I always put the label drive side and centred with the valve.

drive side for the front for me dan, i put the rear on non drive side so that the tyre type can be made out from both sides of the bike  :daumenhoch:

Same here..  If you look at BMX pics, 90% of them tend to be drive side so, it stands to reason any tyre labels should be drive side.  Clearly, this is only if you are bothered and some people aren't..  But you clearly are as you are asking the question  :)

Working in a bike shop, Heff used to insist all tyres were fitted with labels drive side and in line with the valve  ::).  It's kind of stuck with me ever since  :LolLolLolLol:

Tyre label at 12'o clock ,have your wheels laced so the  hub stamp facing upward whilst tyre valve positioned at 6 o'clock and rim stamp facing the drive side

Grips logos horizontal, , Weinman adjusters level writing


I dont have the hexagons on all my stem  allen bolts inline ,,,,
