Hi,
I' am currently installing the HS 2540 front hub.
There is no documentation anywhere about certain intalling information.
There are two question that I have that holding up finishing the installation...
1) rotation direction, My defective 400 series hub has the cable on the left side when sitting on the bike. I gues the cable of the HS 2540 should also be on the left side for correct orientation?
2) On the HS 2540 axle on eash side there is one ring, and one bolt. I don't know if the rings need to be on the inside of the front fork (between the hub and front fork) or on the outside (between fork and bolt).
The with of the hubs looks perfect without any rings on the inside.
I can easily fit one ring on the inside, but for two on the inside I need to push the forks a bit wider to fit.
If they need on the outside, and no ring on the inside, on the inside it is pushing on the cable side against a black plastic cilinder with a 16.5mm inner metal axle, and on the other side against only a 16.5mm wide axle.
I' am afraid the 16.5mm isn't enough of a surface, it's only a 2mm surface (4mm wider than the axle threat) on the inside of the fork.
And my fork is aluminium, and not sure if those 2mm are going to be enough, My feeling is to put the ring on the inside to create a much bigger surface.
On the outside, I do not really need any rings, I already have a washer and torquearm.
So should I try to use the rings on the inside, or not?

Any advice is really appreciated, I want to finish installing my new hub today if posible.
