I have QU-AX. Come to think of it, my whole wheel could already be on the wrong way round. When I was assembling neither the cranks nor the pedals had any markings on them as to whether they are left or right. I just guessed by the thread pattern, but I could have messed it up. How do you tell if the wheel is on the right way?
By the way, your link sends to your previous message.
I find it seriously hard to believe that a tyre will wear faster by putting it on backwards. The tyre is static in the road/tyre reference frame, and nothing changes that, so only minimal wear is being done on normal riding. Unless you can tell me WHY it wears faster, I'm going with onetrack. And please refrain from yelling at me, saying you saw it with your own eyes. I'm inclined to say that you did something different to your tyre, like lots of gaps.

i know from experience, it wore down more in 2 weeks when it was backwards than 3 months when it was forwards.
one person's experience with one tire isn't enough evidence to predict the outcome of 100 other riders with 100 other tires. read up on some statistics before you spout off more nonsense...
when i ride a tyre for 3 months and get 1.5mm of tread worn off, and when i ride that same tyre backwards for 3 weeks and get 2mm of tread wear, i think it's fair enough to say that it was because it was backwards. surely, you don't need experience to tell you that?
Sorry to say it but i still agree with the other guy. seriously, i dont think that one persons experience can definitavly proove anything. this argument is pointless and pretty much sums up my rsu experience... spam and unfounded arguments with a bit of flaming to go along with it. tho i cant complain because where else would i be able to talk to so many unicyclists? 😄
i know what i'm talking about, i build bikes and unicycles as a hobby.
Can you then please explain WHY the tyre wore down 6 times faster when running the other way?
