    Does not really matter.

    as you are only running on the "rails".

    As nicklouse says.

    General guidance, with tyres, dictates that front wheel tread pattern runs in direction of travel, rear wheel against it.

    What surface are you riding on?

    because the rear wheel is driving whereas the front wheel is being driven.
    Unless you're freewheeling, of course, in which case you should quickly switch your rear tyre round. :wink:

    You gotta get your post count up somehow!!!

    Nice, glad your sorted.

    I'd run them both in a 'forward' facing direction personally on that mix of surface. :wink:
