Gonna resurrect this topic as I have just brought a new set and have the same front and also wondered which way around I should fit it.After looking closely at it if you see my pictures you will notice that one side has counter sunk holes and the other side does not. When the bend- tab washer sits on the nut, if your fitting for a 530 pitch 15t front sprocket ( this one ) is done via two counter sunk machine screws then you would fit the sprocket with the full dough nut ring facing you as that is the side with the counter sunk holes because as you can see the tab washer sits over them.
Then( I think ) if your bike fitting is via two bolts then you would fit with the two dough nut halves facing you as there is then enough room for a bolt head and get a socket over it. But the tab washer will not fit - or at least our tab washers for our bikes, any way why would you need one with two bolts holding it.
So for our use I think that is does not matter which way it fits.
Also as you can see the tab is half bent ready the get something under it so although it is very close to the rubber you can still get under it.
What do every one else think.
EDIT ---You know what - I don't it is actually counter sunk after all
