There is a valid reason for the tyre that way round, i bought the wheels brand new from a guy who didnt use them, but the monkey forgot to put the front tyre on the right way round, so i pushed it up to work to get the tyres pumped up and switch the tyres around.
But me being the even bigger monkey forgot to change the tyre around so i have to wait until i go back to work before i can change it as i dont have a presta pump.
