I was mountain biking with friends... I had just put new tires on my mountain bike rims..

Friend: How do you like those new tires?

Me: I like them a lot, they have good grip in the dirt

Friend: [looking over the new tires] Huh, do you know you have them on backwards?

Me: [trying to look confident] Yes, I was looking at the tread and thought they may grip better this way... I'll have to switch them around now, to see if my experiment worked.

That's my story and I'm sticking to it......!!

Ain't that the truth. I don't know how many, but it's a lot, of things I always get right now because I screwed them up the first time.

You're a humble guy 23Seven, probably why nobody is bustin' yer chops. Glad to hear it's a simple error and easily corrected.

We gotta get out for a ride soon!

All good, sometimes it’s hard to figure what is and what is not sarcasm on this forum.

ABS Bearing is on the left and works with the sensor. The standard bearing does not work with the sensor.
