A customer brought in a Campagnolo Bullet wheel for service.
Checking the runout and centering (and so on).
↑About this WARNING sticker,
On the rear wheel, it's 100% positioned on the left side.
With Campagnolo Fulcrum wheels,
it seems they assemble them without paying any attention to whether the hub sticker faces forward or backward,
so which way it ends up is pretty much a coin flip.
If you follow the "WARNING sticker on the left" rule,
then the front wheel hub sticker ends up reversed.
With the rear wheel, since the bearing adjustment locknut can't be placed on the freewheel side,
it must always be on the non-freewheel side, but—
This front wheel had it reversed too, so I corrected it while adjusting the hub bearings.
Ugh! It bothers me!
The tire installed on it has directional markings, so I had to change that too.
In this case, only the sticker orientation ended up reversed,
but I really wish they'd get this right from the factory.
（I know people say "it doesn't affect performance," and sure, they're right about that...）
