Really stupid front wheel question

[Bulldog9]

I think it depends on whether the wheel bearings are placed symmetrically in the hub.  You would think they would be, but they are often not (as on the front wheel of a ‘78 Convert).  If the Convert wheel is reversed, it will not be in the center of the forks.

Just R&R's the rims last week. As far as I could tell, front rim direction doesn't matter on my 76 Convert, the axle bolt and spacer centers the rim.

 New bearings and seals installed , wheel mounted , balanced , which meant removing the one weight already in place .
