I have a left side Dymotech that I want to mount on the rear right of a front fork. Doing so will not cause a problem with contact pressure. Presumably Dymotech specifies and determines side designation on an assumption of rear stay mounting. Using it as I plan to would mean that the roller would rotate in an opposite direction than the side designation might specify.
Are these things directional, or do they use R and L designations just to identify different applications? Will I harm the unit using it the way I plan to, and will it work to generate electricity?
