Hoping to make it to XS East this weekend..
I noticed my front tire was shot, lots of rot etc. I picked up a NOS Dunlop F11 to replace it but I can't figure out what direction this tire is supposed to mount on the wheel. There is no "direction mark". Does it matter on these old bias ply tires? There are a couple of colored rings around the tire circumference, one side has a red stripe...The lettering on the tire goes "Clockwise" if you look at the tire face..
Any ideas?
Never taken this bike for a long trip. Looking forward to the trip..
Regards,
Gareth
