I have a beautifully built rear wheel with Exa-Drive 8 hubs- the Campagnolo on the hub can be read from the non drive side. The writing on the rim "Mavic SUP Ceramic" can be read from the drive side.

I am now having a front wheel built for me with the same hub and rim. Which side should the "Campagnolo" on the hub be read and which side should the writing on the rim face?

Either I can have the writing on the hub match the writing on the rim or I can them face opposite directions. If they face opposite directions they will match the rear wheel.

I think you should make front and rear match.

There are 2 styles of front hub.

The older had "Brev Campagnolo" engraved around the raised centre section. That should be read from the drive side.

Later hubs were smooth across the centre and had an embossed Campy shield. That should be the right way up when seen by the rider and pointed toward the valve.

Rims should match.

There's sometimes a buggy.
How many drivers does a buggy have?

One.

So let's just say I'm drivin' this buggy...
and if you fix your attitude you can ride along with me.

When given the opportunity I always build by personal stuff with labels as backwards as possible, putting in headset cups upside down, front hubs on backwards, etc.

Julio I have the Record hubs. Are they directional hubs?
