    When reinstalling my front tire, my inner speedometer cable slid out of the outer sleeve. I'm not sure which way is up? One end had a tiny washer. The other side don't.

    Any able to help?

    Thanks!

    mebbe check cmsnl.com (consolidated motor spares netherlands) they have lots of good diagrams.

    Anyhow, I vaguely recollect it being at the wheel end. but I dunno how important it is.
    chuck it in, check it works, maybe its not 100% correct, but its easy to change right?

    Slides in from the top with the "tiny washer" going in last. Make sure to spin it with your fingers at the end to engage the drive down at the wheel.

    Thank you!

    If it may slides in firm the top with the tiny washer on top it's easy. If it slides in from the bottom, worth the tiny washer at the bottom then it's bad, cuz you have to take off the front wheel and reassemble.
