Rear axle round the wrong way - wickedmonkey - 03-09-15
Hi guys,
A couple of weeks ago, I had new tyres fitted. It seems that the garage that fitted the tyres installed the rear axle the wrong way around — ie, the 27mm axle nut is now on the exhaust side rather than the chain side.
Will this cause a problem? Does it make any difference? Should I ask them to turn the axle around?
David.

Cheers Slappy. I didn't do a search for the topic first — rookie error!
Still, I'm relieved to learn that it should not make much difference. Didn't want it to suddenly disintegrate doing 70 on the A2...

Yeah, that thread had me wondering, I was always taught the the axle nut goes on the sprocket side.

Just checked a photo of my bike and the nut is on the right!
It obviously doesn't matter as I've never had any issues at all.
