RE: [ST] Front Wheel Installation

["Alan Bretschneider" <abretsch@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks guys,
I think what I did was orient the speedo drive cable straight up instead
of out the back. I did notice both notches in the speedo drive but
thought the notch oriented with the cable pointing up was the correct
way!
This is great. Thanks to all for your advice.

Alan...

It took me a while to get this part right last time since the speedo
drive has two sets of tabs. If you line up the wrong tabs on the fork
tang (with the cable pointing up not back), then it may look right but
will be very difficult to fit the wheel and axle.
Mabye if it was forced you would get drag like you're experiencing.

My suggestion (based on past mistakes) is to read Dan's description
above very carefully and verify that you have it oritented right (along
with all the other detailed comments).
