They seem OK but I can't work out whether the one on the rear should be facing the other way.

Only if you ride backwards.

I think there are enough tubes in One Direction without you shoving yours in.

I got the maxxis directional tubes, the concept's sound but I've ended up using 2 front DHF directional tubes because the rear DHR tube was terrible. I'm not sure whether to run the rear front back to front to make it roll faster, or run it front to front to get some grip back because right now the back keeps trying to overtake the front.

They're good for hill starts

Dual chamber is best, outers forward with puncture protection & Inners rearward for float. Offset valves make tyre logo alignment a nightmare though

If you say "gullible" backwards, really slowly, it sounds like "inner tube"

I fitted a North one in the front wheel, now the bike is unrideable - it always steers North direction...

Doesn't work if you pair them with downhill tyres though.

by accident I blew my tyre up with the valve in the 2 O'clock postion by accident !,upon riding the thing was all over the place..

good job I realised, let it down & blew it up again with it in the correct 12 o'clock position....I wont do that again.
