I bought two new Schwalbe Nobby Nics for my MTB. Then, of course I fitted the tyres using the direction arrows. So far so good. Then I fitted the wheels to the bike and checked everything over. Then I saw that the direction arrow on the rear wheel was pointing the wrong way. I looked at the other side and it was pointing the right way. WTF is going on?


Bike facing to the left - arrow points to the front (towards the brake)

Bike facing to the right - arrow points to the rear (away from the brake)

The front tyre is fine!!!!!
