Silly lockring install question
With a Dura Ace lockring, which side gets mounted flush against the cog? The flat side, or the side that tapers off a little bit?
As you can see in this picture, the side facing outwards tapers around the rim just a bit.
Its been a really long time since I've put a lockring on a new wheel. I'm used to just setting it, and riding. Hell, it might not even matter... Thanks!

yea. mine's actually a Suntour lockring, with the writing on the flat side so i'll be missing out even more on the cool Vintage NJS appeal :[
