This may sound like a silly question, but is there any way to tell the left and right side a Nimbus hub once the cranks are off? I took the cranks off without paying attention to which crank came off which side, now I can’t find any indication of which side is which. Maybe I’m overlooking something simple, but I didn’t notice anything. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks
nope, but if your tire has a kind of grip that has to be in one direction (I dont remember how to say that in one word) you can find on wich way the cranks are supposed to be. There’s no Right or Left on a hub AFAIK.
the wheel orientation shouldn’t matter as long as you have the right crank on the right side of the unicycle and the left on the left side of the unicycle.
Sometimes the wheel is dished slightly to one side or the other, so check the spacing of the rim in the frame. as long as the rim is centered in the frame and your cranks are on the correct sides of the unicycle, you’re all good.
Technically, (for your wheel to be “correct”) when the writing on the hub is pointing up away from the ground, it should read left to right with the front of the frame aimed across to the top of the word(s).
Excellent!
Thanks for the input, guys.

I just made sure the writing read left to right on each side, cos I wasnt sure if it mattered and thought Id rather be safe than sorry! =P
