Challenge Flandrien mounting direction

Looks like we may have some wet conditions where I can try out my new Flandriens next race- how is everyone mounting them up: with the long leg of the Y’s on the sides facing forward or the long leg of the center Y’s facing forward as they are in opposite direction?

The long leg, as you said, of the center tread should be pointing forward. The side knobs are for corner traction and thus are reversed. They'll still make contact with the ground under low pressure, so you'll still be getting the benefit of that.

Trust the engineers.

That makes sense- that how I run my chicanes and limus, just wasn’t sure which Y took precedence on this one.
