Just went and picked up my new Nobby Nic Evo tyres from the local Post Office and going to try and fit them tomorrow (not put a tyre on a bike ever).

Just wondering which way to put them? The usual arrow to the front on the front wheel and the arrow to the rear on the back? Or both arrows facing forwards?

Cheers

Bruce

    I can only find rotation arrows on them which I assume should point forwards

    depends if it is at the top of the wheel or the bottom. if the arrow is at the top of the wheel it should point forwars, if its at the bottom it should point backwards.

    Also look out for front/rear labels. some schwalbe tyres(As do my fat alberts) have a front tyre and back tyre demarcation

    I fitted them with the arrows pointing with the rotation of the wheel. The Rapid Rob tyres that came on the bike had front and rear arrows on but the Nobby Nixs didn't, just been on a quick test ride and they inspire so much more confidence. Ready to take a trip to Bedgebury Forest this week!!

    The Arrows go with the rotation of the wheels.

    Also, nobby nic's now only have one rotational direction regardless of whether they are front or back.
