  • Reinstalling wheel after tire mounting, which way does this go?

    PRO-TIP:

    When putting your rear wheel and tire back on your XS, and a yellowjacket lands RIGHT ON YOUR EFFING EYE, REMAIN CALM! DO NOT spaz out and knock your bike off of it's center stand, it will ruin your day

    Now, on to the question part. This bearing popped out, and I don't know which way to put it back in There are two possible ways, here are pictures of both.




    Can someone tell me which is correct?

    Picture #2 is correct. The seal rides on the thin part of the spacer, and the "flage" should be against the long roller bearing that is inside the rim.
    I HATE yellow jakets!!
