[Closed] Shimano 10spd Chain installation help

Those of you running shimano dynasys drivegear, how did you install the chain?

I know it's directional, but there is no markings on the chain to indicate direction and there is nothing in the paperwork that came with it. Looked online and still nothing.

My best guess was writing facing out, but it doesnt seem to feel right, it's not picking up properly at the rear mech and will sit proud of the rear cassette rings sometimes, not flush like it should.

Any advice? Either the chain is causing a problem or i'm not setting up the rear mech right, is there much of a difference in setup between 8/9 speed and 10 speed? This is my first 10sp build.

Cheers

As far as I know it's writing on the outside.
My 10 spd was a bit niggly, it's pretty b-tension screw sensitive, follow the shimano instructions for b tension set-up to the letter. Cable tension doesn't need to be that high either almost as much bag as you have on a front mech.
