I'm more OCD than most about many aspects of bicycle mechanics, but the whole label through the valve hole thing is kind of a joke. If I care enough think about it, I'll make it face the wrong way on purpose. Reading the rim label from the drive side though, that's another story. I get the heebee jeebees if that isn't done correctly....

So congrats and glad you figured it out. When you get used to it, it isn't any harder than tying your shoes.
