Which way round?

I had the front wheel out yesterday, for a good clean and to grease the axle.
I obviously used the directional arrow on the tyre to make sure it was the right way round. (hoping the garage had it right when the tyres were fitted!!)

Just wondering when I change the tyre in the future, is there an obvious way to tell the correct way around with the twin discs? Should I mark the wheel up before hand or am I missing something and will it only go back in one way?

Confused! :

There are probably no mark but look at the brakedisc if they are design for one way otherwise mark it.

I always put a small arrow on each of the brake discs showing the wheel rotation with a marker pen. You could use paint, tippex or mark them L and R - the choice is yours - but it works!

It's not a great design, in that it will go in either way, but if it's the wrong way the brakes wont be right.

I just drew a couple of arrows on the hub in permanent marker.2
