I've just purchased a pair of Minion DHFs. Should I run them both the 'correct' way round or run the front normally and the rear in reverse direction?

I have mine on the "correct" way. I thought about whether I should reverse it as it was on the rear, then decided against it as I thought it would roll better if on the same way as the front. Been fine so far, had no problems with lack of grip as yet and the last few rides have been on very soggy south downs chalk.

Depends what you want. Running them front way will give you more bite under braking. Running them reverse way will give you more power under pedal stroke.

You just need to find some mach 10, dusty trails, with big fast corners in to see any advantage...
