Sh#t its my forks that are wrong, Ive got 3 set all bought from different
sources and their all the same. Having said that I dont like the look of the
'proper way round' :?
On the remote chance you aren't , the dropouts are at the back to get the correct trail (I think that's the correct word) on wheel so that wheel axle is in same position with reference to normal forks. I don't think you'd like the way the bike handled with them facing forwards.
