#192787 Zim (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 60 front wheel -- left or right side?? 3 Years ago   i have a cast(MAG) wheel that I am mounting a tire on, so my question, is there a left and right side for the wheel (not the tire as I know there is a directional arrow)? this wheel did not come off my bike and already has the rotors on it. the bike is an 07 road star silverado.   Logged     Keep the wheels turnin\' Zim   The administrator has disabled public write access. #192797 Tealw1 (User) If ya can't wear it, it ain't worth eatin Expert Boarder Posts: 599 Re:front wheel -- left or right side?? 3 Years ago   I don't know about the Roadie as my wheels are spoked, but my previous bike (Virago) had a directional arrow on it.   Logged     CAGUAMA-Big and Cool   The administrator has disabled public write access. #192805 Big Bear (Moderator) Who loves you , Baby? Moderator Posts: 6997 Re:front wheel -- left or right side?? 3 Years ago   Good question. Is the old tire already off it? If not , mount the new tire in the same direction.

Gold Boarder Posts: 843 Re:front wheel -- left or right side?? 3 Years ago   I just looked at my front wheel, and I cannot find anything saying left or right, so I assume you can mount it either way, the spacers look the same on either side also, but what I would do....before you mount the tire, install the wheel on the bike with axle, spacers, and brake calipers, posibly trying it on both ways, just to see if it makes a difference before installing the tire on the wheel, other than that the bearings will roll just as good both ways.   Logged     Sold to BamaRoadStar   The administrator has disabled public write access. #192863 RIPBiker13 (User) You couldn't handle the ride of the Reaper... Gold Boarder Posts: 680 Re:front wheel -- left or right side?? 3 Years ago   They are not directional. I was through mine a few times, it makes no difference.   Logged     His name is Mr. Grim and I am the Grim Rider.

On the front wheel hub is a mark that shows rotational direction.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #192985 Zim (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 60 Re:front wheel -- left or right side?? 3 Years ago   well, smith1j, you are correct this MAG wheel also has a directional arrow on the hub (a small arrow i might add). I had already mounted the tire before i got your reply and guess what? yes, the wheel is on backwards, that is my luck, so i get to take it off and put it back on (maybe it will be easier the second time, you think). thank you so much, i don't know what would have happened but i am glad i dont have to find out.   Logged     Last Edit: 2009/05/07 02:01 By Zim.   Keep the wheels turnin\' Zim   The administrator has disabled public write access. #194283 bubba123 (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 90 Re:front wheel -- left or right side?? 3 Years ago   You're welcome. Glad to help out. Just sorry the info didn't get to you in time before you mounted your tire. The arrow is hard to see. When I took my wheel off and took it up to get the new tire mounted I asked them if it made a difference and they then pointed out the small arrow to me.   Logged     Last Edit: 2009/05/11 21:57 By bubba123.   The administrator has disabled public write access. #194336 MS1700 (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 2585 Re:front wheel -- left or right side?? 3 Years ago   Ok I learn something, maybe I can tell shadetree.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access.
