OCP Question
Ok, so I got some bday cash and decided to build a set of tubular wheels. I really like Ambrosio so I picked up a set of Nemesis rims. The lettering on the rims can only be read one way. This is obviously not a problem on the front wheel since I can simply flip the wheel. But from which side should the lettering be readable on the rear wheel; drive side or non-drive side?
Decisions, decisions!

The side that gets photographed of course - the drive side.

Wow! That was fast. I kinda figured drive side but wanted the input from the BF collective. Thanks!

Drive side... in alignment with the valve stem. If the tire has a label on the across from the tire make sure they're both lined up with the valve stem.
If there is only one label, and you've got it on the non-drive side, chances are the tire is on backwards.
