I think he means your front outer links.

It is actually the orientation of the scissor links not the camera angle.

From your photo - on the left the P01 is swept back and on the right the P01 is swept forward.

As opposed to both swept forward like the manual clip below.

Good luck at USIC. What setup are you starting with?

Thank you!
A variant of the one that I posted earlier, the difference being the center post to attach the top deck, and rear glued tires (56mm)

Not an owner, but definitely a curious admirer of the chassis. What is the advantage of an inboard mounted shock vs and outboard mounted shock?

Oh, ok I see it now it was folded to the side and it looked that it had some worn teeth. I need new glasses.

I have seen belt wear like that before, basically the belt flaps up and down when in use and rubs on the lip of the pinion grub screw. Maybe tighten the front belt slightly to stop it slapping the pinion....

I dont think it really matters much how you install that scissor joint thing. I guess it just triggers some people's OCD if they see a miss matched side...
