I have some national sport 8 grove disks and they came labeled left/right with the groves flicking forward at top of the disk, not sure if that helps as mines a fezza

If the vented sections are angled at all then they sweep backwards as it were, if they are straight then they fit either way, but I would then fit them with the grooves going backwards as the wheel rotates if you get what I mean.

Interesting....I've seen threads on this before and read conflicting answers, even in the manufactorer's instructions.

I've also seen pictures where people have fitted them opposite.....

I still would like to know as I have Tarox G88's 40 groove to fit on the front of mine
