Thanks Martin,When the rims wheels came off they were on the left side,but they were not the originals (Akronts)but the singles I have all the markings are on the right-hand side.
Cheers K-Mac

OK on my original pained spoke'd rim that has never been apart mine are on the left side as you sit on the bike , Falloons black covered book page 71
Steve when you re-spoked yours you must have had one to many when you put them back together

nup-i first put stainless spokes in the thing in 1980--stamped numbers were nothing more than a polishing hassle-couldnt have cared less about em---still didnt know what a 4777 was until i came here.just called em borranis-either side i dont care-mine are pretty dinged and crappy anyway--thinking about getting some new replacements-they'll look better
