Recently I was changing front tire on my FXSB and I had to remove front wheel.
When I was installing wheel I found a little dilemma, there is a spacer with a groove on right side of axle.
I`m not the first owner of the bike and I`m pretty sure that it was not the first time the wheel was removed.
I am not so sure about the orientation of axle spacer.
It was installed with the groove against wheel, can anyone confirm that this is right?
I don`t see any size difference in the grooved and non-grooved side of the spacer, but maybe I am missing something, maybe it could be installed with groove inward and outward. Picture below.
