I started with cantilevers, moved to V-brakes both on th righthand side. That made sence, because all motorbikes have the front brakes on the righthand side, don't they. Moved to disks and they were swapped to the lefthand side. WTF. I checked the possibilities and changed them back to the righthand side. Its the only logical way! why change it?

Shocked, you know something about control instrumentation!!

everything on the left is for the front and everything on the right is for the back.

If you come from the UK, it is a 'requirement' to have the front brake on the left (or at least it used to be) - hence a bike supplied from the UK will brobably be 'setup' with the front on the left.

 

Swapping over was not a problem with 'cable brakes', but disc prakes are usually 'handed', so you need to specify which way you want them.
