[#700562]

The directional arrows on a rear bonty xr 29er tyre are the opposite way around to the 26er version.IE tread faces different ways for each size. Noticed my mates tread the other day and laughed pointing and mocking until he shows me the arrows. Would it be to do with better rolling resistance for the 29er and better braking for the 26er. That's what I told him any way like I knew all along.

It's to confuse the users of the smaller/less niche wheel. ๐Ÿ˜†

Yet another way of making/pretending to make stuff more optimised/use specific.

It already is specific to rear and 29" wheels so its not that.
