Fitting front wheel

[Matthew Hutchinson]

Sorry to ask a simple question but my kit bits came today my wheel had nuts and washers in a bag but there is one nut fitted, does this go on the inside of the forks

You can arrange all the bits how you want to get the rim central. The main thing is that the anti-rotation washer is nearest to the fork.

It looks like you have flat drop-outs. For dimpled ones you have to make sure that nothing rides up the edge of the dimple, otherwise the front of the drop-out will break off when you tighten the nut.

Don't forget that the motor cable must exit downwards, so the anti-rotation washers must be assembled with the tab facing in the same direction as the slot in the side of the axle where the wire comes out.

Like this with the slot facing down?

Yep and you want a drip loop in the wire it has to go below the slot.

As AK says you need to form a drip loop, like this:
