Was cleaning my headset, and removing a years worth of grime and kak from the bearing "wheel" (Not sure of it's name) cleaned out the race, and then realised I had a problem!

I have a bit of paper towl with all the bits, in the order in which they came off, and in their correct orientation, but…..

I've been a plank and not made a note of which way round the bearings went in! Does the side with the bearings raised above the "wheel" sit facing into the head tube, or away (i.e. towards the wheel and stem)?

Thanks!

Hopeful bump?

which make/model of headset is it?

pictures and words parktool

put the bearings in dry and see which way works and which way makes a horrible graunchy noise
